Lets's calculate LCM of 914,7444
2 | 914, 7444 |
457, 3722 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 457 x 3722 = 3401908
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3401908
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4874/914,3542/7444 is 2/3401908
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 914,7444 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(914,7444) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(914,7444) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(914,7444) = ( 914 × 7444 ) / 2
LCM(914,7444) = 6803816 / 2
LCM(914,7444) = 3401908
