Lets's calculate LCM of 678,7196
2 | 678, 7196 |
339, 3598 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 339 x 3598 = 2439444
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2439444
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5478/678,4424/7196 is 2/2439444
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 678,7196 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(678,7196) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(678,7196) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(678,7196) = ( 678 × 7196 ) / 2
LCM(678,7196) = 4878888 / 2
LCM(678,7196) = 2439444
