So the greatest common factor 3766,3580 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,974
2 | 32, 974 |
16, 487 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 16 x 487 = 15584
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/15584
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3766/32,3580/974 is 2/15584
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 32,974 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,974) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,974) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(32,974) = ( 32 × 974 ) / 2
LCM(32,974) = 31168 / 2
LCM(32,974) = 15584
