So the greatest common factor 7227,4602 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 932,418
2 | 932, 418 |
466, 209 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 466 x 209 = 194788
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/194788
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7227/932,4602/418 is 3/194788
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 932,418 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(932,418) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(932,418) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(932,418) = ( 932 × 418 ) / 2
LCM(932,418) = 389576 / 2
LCM(932,418) = 194788
