So the greatest common factor 3646,8644 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 914,252
2 | 914, 252 |
457, 126 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 457 x 126 = 115164
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/115164
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3646/914,8644/252 is 2/115164
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 914,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(914,252) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(914,252) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(914,252) = ( 914 × 252 ) / 2
LCM(914,252) = 230328 / 2
LCM(914,252) = 115164
