Lets's calculate LCM of 474,9756
2 | 474, 9756 |
3 | 237, 4878 |
79, 1626 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 79 x 1626 = 770724
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/770724
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6604/474,8438/9756 is 2/770724
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 474,9756 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(474,9756) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(474,9756) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(474,9756) = ( 474 × 9756 ) / 6
LCM(474,9756) = 4624344 / 6
LCM(474,9756) = 770724
