So the greatest common factor 942,640 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 22,574
2 | 22, 574 |
11, 287 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 11 x 287 = 6314
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6314
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 942/22,640/574 is 2/6314
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 22,574 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(22,574) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(22,574) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(22,574) = ( 22 × 574 ) / 2
LCM(22,574) = 12628 / 2
LCM(22,574) = 6314
