Lets's calculate LCM of 468,738
2 | 468, 738 |
3 | 234, 369 |
3 | 78, 123 |
26, 41 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 26 x 41 = 19188
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/19188
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 902/468,332/738 is 2/19188
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 468,738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(468,738) = 18
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(468,738) x common factors =18 x 1 = 18
LCM(468,738) = ( 468 × 738 ) / 18
LCM(468,738) = 345384 / 18
LCM(468,738) = 19188
