Lets's calculate LCM of 362,946
2 | 362, 946 |
181, 473 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 181 x 473 = 171226
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/171226
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 564/362,8140/946 is 4/171226
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 362,946 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(362,946) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(362,946) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(362,946) = ( 362 × 946 ) / 2
LCM(362,946) = 342452 / 2
LCM(362,946) = 171226
