Lets's calculate LCM of 662,3628
2 | 662, 3628 |
331, 1814 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 331 x 1814 = 1200868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1200868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 738/662,8176/3628 is 2/1200868
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 662,3628 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(662,3628) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(662,3628) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(662,3628) = ( 662 × 3628 ) / 2
LCM(662,3628) = 2401736 / 2
LCM(662,3628) = 1200868
