So the greatest common factor 4636,5642 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 448,364
2 | 448, 364 |
2 | 224, 182 |
7 | 112, 91 |
16, 13 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 x 16 x 13 = 5824
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5824
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4636/448,5642/364 is 2/5824
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 448,364 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(448,364) = 28
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(448,364) x common factors =28 x 1 = 28
LCM(448,364) = ( 448 × 364 ) / 28
LCM(448,364) = 163072 / 28
LCM(448,364) = 5824
