Lets's calculate LCM of 628,4036
2 | 628, 4036 |
2 | 314, 2018 |
157, 1009 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 157 x 1009 = 633652
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/633652
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2686/628,2252/4036 is 2/633652
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 628,4036 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(628,4036) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(628,4036) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(628,4036) = ( 628 × 4036 ) / 4
LCM(628,4036) = 2534608 / 4
LCM(628,4036) = 633652
