Lets's calculate LCM of 374,9334
2 | 374, 9334 |
187, 4667 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 187 x 4667 = 1745458
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/1745458
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 594/374,3480/9334 is 6/1745458
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 374,9334 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(374,9334) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(374,9334) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(374,9334) = ( 374 × 9334 ) / 2
LCM(374,9334) = 3490916 / 2
LCM(374,9334) = 1745458
