Lets's calculate LCM of 302,1476
2 | 302, 1476 |
151, 738 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 151 x 738 = 222876
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/222876
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6834/302,5336/1476 is 2/222876
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 302,1476 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(302,1476) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(302,1476) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(302,1476) = ( 302 × 1476 ) / 2
LCM(302,1476) = 445752 / 2
LCM(302,1476) = 222876
