Lets's calculate LCM of 636,940
2 | 636, 940 |
2 | 318, 470 |
159, 235 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 159 x 235 = 149460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/149460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 628/636,185/940 is 1/149460
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 636,940 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(636,940) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(636,940) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(636,940) = ( 636 × 940 ) / 4
LCM(636,940) = 597840 / 4
LCM(636,940) = 149460
