Lets's calculate LCM of 394,368
2 | 394, 368 |
197, 184 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 197 x 184 = 72496
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/72496
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7317/394,4245/368 is 3/72496
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 394,368 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(394,368) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(394,368) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(394,368) = ( 394 × 368 ) / 2
LCM(394,368) = 144992 / 2
LCM(394,368) = 72496
