Lets's calculate LCM of 694,2852
2 | 694, 2852 |
347, 1426 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 347 x 1426 = 989644
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/989644
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6530/694,8944/2852 is 2/989644
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 694,2852 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(694,2852) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(694,2852) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(694,2852) = ( 694 × 2852 ) / 2
LCM(694,2852) = 1979288 / 2
LCM(694,2852) = 989644
