Lets's calculate LCM of 472,9146
2 | 472, 9146 |
236, 4573 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 236 x 4573 = 2158456
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2158456
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2382/472,6651/9146 is 3/2158456
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 472,9146 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,9146) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,9146) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(472,9146) = ( 472 × 9146 ) / 2
LCM(472,9146) = 4316912 / 2
LCM(472,9146) = 2158456
