Lets's calculate LCM of 454,636
2 | 454, 636 |
227, 318 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 227 x 318 = 144372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/144372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 854/454,1182/636 is 2/144372
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 454,636 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(454,636) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(454,636) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(454,636) = ( 454 × 636 ) / 2
LCM(454,636) = 288744 / 2
LCM(454,636) = 144372
