Lets's calculate LCM of 976,4736
2 | 976, 4736 |
2 | 488, 2368 |
2 | 244, 1184 |
2 | 122, 592 |
61, 296 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 61 x 296 = 288896
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/288896
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6702/976,5536/4736 is 2/288896
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 976,4736 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(976,4736) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(976,4736) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(976,4736) = ( 976 × 4736 ) / 16
LCM(976,4736) = 4622336 / 16
LCM(976,4736) = 288896
