Lets's calculate LCM of 304,684
2 | 304, 684 |
2 | 152, 342 |
19 | 76, 171 |
4, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 19 x 4 x 9 = 2736
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2736
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6612/304,4606/684 is 2/2736
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 304,684 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(304,684) = 76
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(304,684) x common factors =76 x 1 = 76
LCM(304,684) = ( 304 × 684 ) / 76
LCM(304,684) = 207936 / 76
LCM(304,684) = 2736
