Lets's calculate LCM of 294,9606
2 | 294, 9606 |
3 | 147, 4803 |
49, 1601 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 49 x 1601 = 470694
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/470694
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6968/294,4895/9606 is 1/470694
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 294,9606 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(294,9606) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(294,9606) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(294,9606) = ( 294 × 9606 ) / 6
LCM(294,9606) = 2824164 / 6
LCM(294,9606) = 470694
