So the greatest common factor 7215,4736 is 37.
Lets's calculate LCM of 664,286
2 | 664, 286 |
332, 143 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 332 x 143 = 94952
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/94952
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7215/664,4736/286 is 37/94952
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 664,286 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(664,286) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(664,286) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(664,286) = ( 664 × 286 ) / 2
LCM(664,286) = 189904 / 2
LCM(664,286) = 94952
