Lets's calculate LCM of 644,9844
2 | 644, 9844 |
2 | 322, 4922 |
23 | 161, 2461 |
7, 107 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 23 x 7 x 107 = 68908
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/68908
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7272/644,9732/9844 is 12/68908
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 644,9844 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(644,9844) = 92
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(644,9844) x common factors =92 x 1 = 92
LCM(644,9844) = ( 644 × 9844 ) / 92
LCM(644,9844) = 6339536 / 92
LCM(644,9844) = 68908
