Lets's calculate LCM of 536,606
2 | 536, 606 |
268, 303 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 268 x 303 = 162408
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/162408
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7398/536,1642/606 is 2/162408
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 536,606 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(536,606) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(536,606) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(536,606) = ( 536 × 606 ) / 2
LCM(536,606) = 324816 / 2
LCM(536,606) = 162408
