Lets's calculate LCM of 628,732
2 | 628, 732 |
2 | 314, 366 |
157, 183 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 157 x 183 = 114924
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/114924
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 548/628,494/732 is 2/114924
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 628,732 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(628,732) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(628,732) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(628,732) = ( 628 × 732 ) / 4
LCM(628,732) = 459696 / 4
LCM(628,732) = 114924
