2 | 446, 8436 |
223, 4218 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 223 x 4218 = 1881228
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1881228
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7249/446,1161/8436 is 1/1881228
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 446,8436 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(446,8436) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(446,8436) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(446,8436) = ( 446 × 8436 ) / 2
LCM(446,8436) = 3762456 / 2
LCM(446,8436) = 1881228
