Lets's calculate LCM of 492,844
2 | 492, 844 |
2 | 246, 422 |
123, 211 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 123 x 211 = 103812
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/103812
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7470/492,2256/844 is 6/103812
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 492,844 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(492,844) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(492,844) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(492,844) = ( 492 × 844 ) / 4
LCM(492,844) = 415248 / 4
LCM(492,844) = 103812
