Lets's calculate LCM of 974,3202
2 | 974, 3202 |
487, 1601 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 487 x 1601 = 1559374
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1559374
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5751/974,4170/3202 is 3/1559374
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 974,3202 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(974,3202) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(974,3202) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(974,3202) = ( 974 × 3202 ) / 2
LCM(974,3202) = 3118748 / 2
LCM(974,3202) = 1559374
