Lets's calculate LCM of 394,4756
2 | 394, 4756 |
197, 2378 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 197 x 2378 = 936932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/936932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6850/394,2832/4756 is 2/936932
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 394,4756 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(394,4756) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(394,4756) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(394,4756) = ( 394 × 4756 ) / 2
LCM(394,4756) = 1873864 / 2
LCM(394,4756) = 936932
