Lets's calculate LCM of 26,818
2 | 26, 818 |
13, 409 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 409 = 10634
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/10634
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 974/26,474/818 is 2/10634
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 26,818 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,818) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(26,818) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(26,818) = ( 26 × 818 ) / 2
LCM(26,818) = 21268 / 2
LCM(26,818) = 10634
