So the greatest common factor 9632,1720 is 344.
Lets's calculate LCM of 954,598
2 | 954, 598 |
477, 299 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 477 x 299 = 285246
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 344/285246
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9632/954,1720/598 is 344/285246
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 954,598 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(954,598) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(954,598) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(954,598) = ( 954 × 598 ) / 2
LCM(954,598) = 570492 / 2
LCM(954,598) = 285246
