Lets's calculate LCM of 21,2634
3 | 21, 2634 |
7, 878 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 878 = 18438
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/18438
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 598/21,486/2634 is 2/18438
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 21,2634 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,2634) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,2634) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(21,2634) = ( 21 × 2634 ) / 3
LCM(21,2634) = 55314 / 3
LCM(21,2634) = 18438
