Lets's calculate LCM of 360,1786
2 | 360, 1786 |
180, 893 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 180 x 893 = 321480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/321480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8942/360,4811/1786 is 17/321480
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 360,1786 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(360,1786) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(360,1786) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(360,1786) = ( 360 × 1786 ) / 2
LCM(360,1786) = 642960 / 2
LCM(360,1786) = 321480
