2 | 394, 2674 |
197, 1337 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 197 x 1337 = 526778
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 49/526778
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 49/394,5537/2674 is 49/526778
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 394,2674 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(394,2674) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(394,2674) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(394,2674) = ( 394 × 2674 ) / 2
LCM(394,2674) = 1053556 / 2
LCM(394,2674) = 526778
