Lets's calculate LCM of 458,8728
2 | 458, 8728 |
229, 4364 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 229 x 4364 = 1998712
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/1998712
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6174/458,2295/8728 is 9/1998712
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 458,8728 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(458,8728) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(458,8728) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(458,8728) = ( 458 × 8728 ) / 2
LCM(458,8728) = 3997424 / 2
LCM(458,8728) = 1998712
