Lets's calculate LCM of 394,8974
2 | 394, 8974 |
197, 4487 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 197 x 4487 = 1767878
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1767878
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 308/394,6851/8974 is 1/1767878
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 394,8974 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(394,8974) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(394,8974) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(394,8974) = ( 394 × 8974 ) / 2
LCM(394,8974) = 3535756 / 2
LCM(394,8974) = 1767878
