Lets's calculate LCM of 736,5864
2 | 736, 5864 |
2 | 368, 2932 |
2 | 184, 1466 |
92, 733 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 92 x 733 = 539488
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/539488
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7191/736,1002/5864 is 3/539488
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 736,5864 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(736,5864) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(736,5864) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(736,5864) = ( 736 × 5864 ) / 8
LCM(736,5864) = 4315904 / 8
LCM(736,5864) = 539488
