Lets's calculate LCM of 82,472
2 | 82, 472 |
41, 236 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 41 x 236 = 19352
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/19352
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 726/82,3114/472 is 6/19352
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 82,472 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,472) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,472) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(82,472) = ( 82 × 472 ) / 2
LCM(82,472) = 38704 / 2
LCM(82,472) = 19352
