Lets's calculate LCM of 432,674
2 | 432, 674 |
216, 337 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 216 x 337 = 145584
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/145584
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 804/432,732/674 is 12/145584
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 432,674 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(432,674) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(432,674) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(432,674) = ( 432 × 674 ) / 2
LCM(432,674) = 291168 / 2
LCM(432,674) = 145584
