So the greatest common factor 518,3034 is 74.
Lets's calculate LCM of 468,332
2 | 468, 332 |
2 | 234, 166 |
117, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 117 x 83 = 38844
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 74/38844
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 518/468,3034/332 is 74/38844
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 468,332 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(468,332) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(468,332) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(468,332) = ( 468 × 332 ) / 4
LCM(468,332) = 155376 / 4
LCM(468,332) = 38844
