Lets's calculate LCM of 718,486
2 | 718, 486 |
359, 243 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 359 x 243 = 174474
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/174474
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8920/718,1574/486 is 2/174474
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 718,486 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(718,486) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(718,486) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(718,486) = ( 718 × 486 ) / 2
LCM(718,486) = 348948 / 2
LCM(718,486) = 174474
