Lets's calculate LCM of 688,6884
2 | 688, 6884 |
2 | 344, 3442 |
172, 1721 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 172 x 1721 = 1184048
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1184048
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5243/688,7846/6884 is 1/1184048
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 688,6884 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(688,6884) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(688,6884) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(688,6884) = ( 688 × 6884 ) / 4
LCM(688,6884) = 4736192 / 4
LCM(688,6884) = 1184048
