Lets's calculate LCM of 486,1936
2 | 486, 1936 |
243, 968 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 243 x 968 = 470448
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/470448
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6424/486,2285/1936 is 1/470448
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 486,1936 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(486,1936) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(486,1936) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(486,1936) = ( 486 × 1936 ) / 2
LCM(486,1936) = 940896 / 2
LCM(486,1936) = 470448
