Lets's calculate LCM of 637,8931
13 | 637, 8931 |
49, 687 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 49 x 687 = 437619
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/437619
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4904/637,8436/8931 is 4/437619
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 637,8931 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(637,8931) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(637,8931) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(637,8931) = ( 637 × 8931 ) / 13
LCM(637,8931) = 5689047 / 13
LCM(637,8931) = 437619
