Lets's calculate LCM of 422,7296
2 | 422, 7296 |
211, 3648 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 211 x 3648 = 1539456
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1539456
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3447/422,5835/7296 is 3/1539456
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 422,7296 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(422,7296) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(422,7296) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(422,7296) = ( 422 × 7296 ) / 2
LCM(422,7296) = 3078912 / 2
LCM(422,7296) = 1539456
