Lets's calculate LCM of 86,738
2 | 86, 738 |
43, 369 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 43 x 369 = 31734
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 61/31734
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6344/86,4697/738 is 61/31734
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 86,738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,738) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(86,738) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(86,738) = ( 86 × 738 ) / 2
LCM(86,738) = 63468 / 2
LCM(86,738) = 31734
