Lets's calculate LCM of 732,946
2 | 732, 946 |
366, 473 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 366 x 473 = 346236
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 82/346236
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 656/732,5166/946 is 82/346236
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 732,946 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(732,946) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(732,946) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(732,946) = ( 732 × 946 ) / 2
LCM(732,946) = 692472 / 2
LCM(732,946) = 346236
