So the greatest common factor 944,663 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,374
2 | 32, 374 |
16, 187 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 16 x 187 = 5984
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5984
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 944/32,663/374 is 1/5984
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 32,374 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,374) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,374) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(32,374) = ( 32 × 374 ) / 2
LCM(32,374) = 11968 / 2
LCM(32,374) = 5984
