So the greatest common factor 684,532 is 76.
Lets's calculate LCM of 974,724
2 | 974, 724 |
487, 362 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 487 x 362 = 352588
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 76/352588
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 684/974,532/724 is 76/352588
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 974,724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(974,724) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(974,724) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(974,724) = ( 974 × 724 ) / 2
LCM(974,724) = 705176 / 2
LCM(974,724) = 352588
