So the greatest common factor 603,378 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,638
2 | 36, 638 |
18, 319 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 18 x 319 = 11484
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/11484
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 603/36,378/638 is 9/11484
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 36,638 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,638) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,638) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(36,638) = ( 36 × 638 ) / 2
LCM(36,638) = 22968 / 2
LCM(36,638) = 11484
