Lets's calculate LCM of 356,836
2 | 356, 836 |
2 | 178, 418 |
89, 209 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 89 x 209 = 74404
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/74404
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4736/356,2506/836 is 2/74404
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 356,836 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(356,836) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(356,836) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(356,836) = ( 356 × 836 ) / 4
LCM(356,836) = 297616 / 4
LCM(356,836) = 74404
