Lets's calculate LCM of 368,346
2 | 368, 346 |
184, 173 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 184 x 173 = 63664
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/63664
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6737/368,8903/346 is 1/63664
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 368,346 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(368,346) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(368,346) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(368,346) = ( 368 × 346 ) / 2
LCM(368,346) = 127328 / 2
LCM(368,346) = 63664
