Lets's calculate LCM of 554,872
2 | 554, 872 |
277, 436 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 277 x 436 = 241544
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/241544
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3689/554,4746/872 is 7/241544
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 554,872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(554,872) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(554,872) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(554,872) = ( 554 × 872 ) / 2
LCM(554,872) = 483088 / 2
LCM(554,872) = 241544
