Lets's calculate LCM of 747,4722
3 | 747, 4722 |
249, 1574 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 249 x 1574 = 1175778
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/1175778
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8632/747,7312/4722 is 8/1175778
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 747,4722 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(747,4722) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(747,4722) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(747,4722) = ( 747 × 4722 ) / 3
LCM(747,4722) = 3527334 / 3
LCM(747,4722) = 1175778
