Lets's calculate LCM of 456,674
2 | 456, 674 |
228, 337 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 228 x 337 = 153672
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/153672
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 462/456,2121/674 is 21/153672
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 456,674 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(456,674) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(456,674) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(456,674) = ( 456 × 674 ) / 2
LCM(456,674) = 307344 / 2
LCM(456,674) = 153672
