Lets's calculate LCM of 462,224
2 | 462, 224 |
7 | 231, 112 |
33, 16 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 33 x 16 = 7392
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7392
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6472/462,1017/224 is 1/7392
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 462,224 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(462,224) = 14
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(462,224) x common factors =14 x 1 = 14
LCM(462,224) = ( 462 × 224 ) / 14
LCM(462,224) = 103488 / 14
LCM(462,224) = 7392
