So the greatest common factor 7862,6318 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 974,748
2 | 974, 748 |
487, 374 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 487 x 374 = 364276
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/364276
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7862/974,6318/748 is 2/364276
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 974,748 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(974,748) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(974,748) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(974,748) = ( 974 × 748 ) / 2
LCM(974,748) = 728552 / 2
LCM(974,748) = 364276
