2 | 736, 9554 |
368, 4777 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 368 x 4777 = 3515872
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3515872
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4990/736,1938/9554 is 2/3515872
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 736,9554 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(736,9554) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(736,9554) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(736,9554) = ( 736 × 9554 ) / 2
LCM(736,9554) = 7031744 / 2
LCM(736,9554) = 3515872
