Lets's calculate LCM of 976,9384
2 | 976, 9384 |
2 | 488, 4692 |
2 | 244, 2346 |
122, 1173 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 122 x 1173 = 1144848
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/1144848
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 736/976,3664/9384 is 16/1144848
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 976,9384 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(976,9384) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(976,9384) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(976,9384) = ( 976 × 9384 ) / 8
LCM(976,9384) = 9158784 / 8
LCM(976,9384) = 1144848
