So the greatest common factor 4932,1182 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 472,6604
2 | 472, 6604 |
2 | 236, 3302 |
118, 1651 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 118 x 1651 = 779272
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/779272
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4932/472,1182/6604 is 6/779272
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 472,6604 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,6604) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,6604) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(472,6604) = ( 472 × 6604 ) / 4
LCM(472,6604) = 3117088 / 4
LCM(472,6604) = 779272
