Lets's calculate LCM of 36,602
2 | 36, 602 |
18, 301 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 18 x 301 = 10836
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/10836
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 385/36,9482/602 is 11/10836
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 36,602 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,602) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,602) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(36,602) = ( 36 × 602 ) / 2
LCM(36,602) = 21672 / 2
LCM(36,602) = 10836
