Lets's calculate LCM of 644,292
2 | 644, 292 |
2 | 322, 146 |
161, 73 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 161 x 73 = 47012
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/47012
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 957/644,196/292 is 1/47012
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 644,292 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(644,292) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(644,292) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(644,292) = ( 644 × 292 ) / 4
LCM(644,292) = 188048 / 4
LCM(644,292) = 47012
