Lets's calculate LCM of 536,7150
2 | 536, 7150 |
268, 3575 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 268 x 3575 = 1916200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1916200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6837/536,2908/7150 is 1/1916200
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 536,7150 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(536,7150) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(536,7150) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(536,7150) = ( 536 × 7150 ) / 2
LCM(536,7150) = 3832400 / 2
LCM(536,7150) = 1916200
