So the greatest common factor 7374,5001 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 686,574
2 | 686, 574 |
7 | 343, 287 |
49, 41 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 49 x 41 = 28126
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/28126
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7374/686,5001/574 is 3/28126
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 686,574 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(686,574) = 14
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(686,574) x common factors =14 x 1 = 14
LCM(686,574) = ( 686 × 574 ) / 14
LCM(686,574) = 393764 / 14
LCM(686,574) = 28126
