Lets's calculate LCM of 108,636
2 | 108, 636 |
2 | 54, 318 |
3 | 27, 159 |
9, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 9 x 53 = 5724
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5724
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7328/108,9342/636 is 2/5724
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 108,636 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(108,636) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(108,636) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(108,636) = ( 108 × 636 ) / 12
LCM(108,636) = 68688 / 12
LCM(108,636) = 5724
