Lets's calculate LCM of 496,9474
2 | 496, 9474 |
248, 4737 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 248 x 4737 = 2349552
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2349552
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7384/496,8524/9474 is 4/2349552
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 496,9474 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(496,9474) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(496,9474) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(496,9474) = ( 496 × 9474 ) / 2
LCM(496,9474) = 4699104 / 2
LCM(496,9474) = 2349552
