Lets's calculate LCM of 324,1761
3 | 324, 1761 |
108, 587 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 108 x 587 = 190188
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/190188
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7448/324,3638/1761 is 2/190188
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 324,1761 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(324,1761) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(324,1761) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(324,1761) = ( 324 × 1761 ) / 3
LCM(324,1761) = 570564 / 3
LCM(324,1761) = 190188
