Lets's calculate LCM of 246,9132
2 | 246, 9132 |
3 | 123, 4566 |
41, 1522 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 41 x 1522 = 374412
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/374412
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 590/246,3148/9132 is 2/374412
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 246,9132 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(246,9132) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(246,9132) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(246,9132) = ( 246 × 9132 ) / 6
LCM(246,9132) = 2246472 / 6
LCM(246,9132) = 374412
