Lets's calculate LCM of 796,8636
2 | 796, 8636 |
2 | 398, 4318 |
199, 2159 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 199 x 2159 = 1718564
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 99/1718564
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6633/796,5940/8636 is 99/1718564
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 796,8636 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(796,8636) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(796,8636) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(796,8636) = ( 796 × 8636 ) / 4
LCM(796,8636) = 6874256 / 4
LCM(796,8636) = 1718564
