So the greatest common factor 6446,7742 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 44,372
2 | 44, 372 |
2 | 22, 186 |
11, 93 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 11 x 93 = 4092
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4092
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6446/44,7742/372 is 2/4092
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 44,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(44,372) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(44,372) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(44,372) = ( 44 × 372 ) / 4
LCM(44,372) = 16368 / 4
LCM(44,372) = 4092
