2 | 738, 4458 |
3 | 369, 2229 |
123, 743 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 123 x 743 = 548334
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/548334
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 82/738,3238/4458 is 2/548334
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 738,4458 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(738,4458) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(738,4458) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(738,4458) = ( 738 × 4458 ) / 6
LCM(738,4458) = 3290004 / 6
LCM(738,4458) = 548334
