So the greatest common factor 712,4628 is 356.
Lets's calculate LCM of 356,844
2 | 356, 844 |
2 | 178, 422 |
89, 211 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 89 x 211 = 75116
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 356/75116
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 712/356,4628/844 is 356/75116
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 356,844 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(356,844) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(356,844) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(356,844) = ( 356 × 844 ) / 4
LCM(356,844) = 300464 / 4
LCM(356,844) = 75116
