Lets's calculate LCM of 466,684
2 | 466, 684 |
233, 342 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 233 x 342 = 159372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/159372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7518/466,8907/684 is 3/159372
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 466,684 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(466,684) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(466,684) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(466,684) = ( 466 × 684 ) / 2
LCM(466,684) = 318744 / 2
LCM(466,684) = 159372
