So the greatest common factor 636,7304 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 14,608
2 | 14, 608 |
7, 304 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 304 = 4256
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/4256
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 636/14,7304/608 is 4/4256
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 14,608 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(14,608) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(14,608) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(14,608) = ( 14 × 608 ) / 2
LCM(14,608) = 8512 / 2
LCM(14,608) = 4256
