Lets's calculate LCM of 746,9172
| 2 | 746, 9172 |
| 373, 4586 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 373 x 4586 = 3421156
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3421156
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9440/746,1661/9172 is 1/3421156
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 746,9172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(746,9172) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(746,9172) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(746,9172) = ( 746 × 9172 ) / 2
LCM(746,9172) = 6842312 / 2
LCM(746,9172) = 3421156
