Lets's calculate LCM of 638,803
11 | 638, 803 |
58, 73 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 58 x 73 = 46574
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/46574
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6724/638,1212/803 is 4/46574
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 638,803 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(638,803) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(638,803) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(638,803) = ( 638 × 803 ) / 11
LCM(638,803) = 512314 / 11
LCM(638,803) = 46574
