Lets's calculate LCM of 948,1611
3 | 948, 1611 |
316, 537 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 316 x 537 = 509076
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 32/509076
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7136/948,1472/1611 is 32/509076
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 948,1611 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(948,1611) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(948,1611) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(948,1611) = ( 948 × 1611 ) / 3
LCM(948,1611) = 1527228 / 3
LCM(948,1611) = 509076
