Lets's calculate LCM of 356,3738
2 | 356, 3738 |
89 | 178, 1869 |
2, 21 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 89 x 2 x 21 = 7476
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7476
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5522/356,7265/3738 is 1/7476
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 356,3738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(356,3738) = 178
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(356,3738) x common factors =178 x 1 = 178
LCM(356,3738) = ( 356 × 3738 ) / 178
LCM(356,3738) = 1330728 / 178
LCM(356,3738) = 7476
