Lets's calculate LCM of 914,360
2 | 914, 360 |
457, 180 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 457 x 180 = 164520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/164520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8674/914,5918/360 is 2/164520
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 914,360 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(914,360) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(914,360) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(914,360) = ( 914 × 360 ) / 2
LCM(914,360) = 329040 / 2
LCM(914,360) = 164520
