Lets's calculate LCM of 232,8497
29 | 232, 8497 |
8, 293 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 29 x 8 x 293 = 67976
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/67976
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6744/232,8618/8497 is 2/67976
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 232,8497 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(232,8497) = 29
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(232,8497) x common factors =29 x 1 = 29
LCM(232,8497) = ( 232 × 8497 ) / 29
LCM(232,8497) = 1971304 / 29
LCM(232,8497) = 67976
