Lets's calculate LCM of 656,9304
2 | 656, 9304 |
2 | 328, 4652 |
2 | 164, 2326 |
82, 1163 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 82 x 1163 = 762928
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/762928
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9702/656,2991/9304 is 3/762928
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 656,9304 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(656,9304) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(656,9304) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(656,9304) = ( 656 × 9304 ) / 8
LCM(656,9304) = 6103424 / 8
LCM(656,9304) = 762928
