Lets's calculate LCM of 364,7356
2 | 364, 7356 |
2 | 182, 3678 |
91, 1839 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 91 x 1839 = 669396
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/669396
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5964/364,4348/7356 is 4/669396
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 364,7356 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(364,7356) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(364,7356) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(364,7356) = ( 364 × 7356 ) / 4
LCM(364,7356) = 2677584 / 4
LCM(364,7356) = 669396
