So the greatest common factor 9040,2994 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 662,2524
2 | 662, 2524 |
331, 1262 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 331 x 1262 = 835444
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/835444
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9040/662,2994/2524 is 2/835444
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 662,2524 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(662,2524) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(662,2524) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(662,2524) = ( 662 × 2524 ) / 2
LCM(662,2524) = 1670888 / 2
LCM(662,2524) = 835444
