So the greatest common factor 8474,8004 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 372,944
2 | 372, 944 |
2 | 186, 472 |
93, 236 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 93 x 236 = 87792
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/87792
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8474/372,8004/944 is 2/87792
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 372,944 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(372,944) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(372,944) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(372,944) = ( 372 × 944 ) / 4
LCM(372,944) = 351168 / 4
LCM(372,944) = 87792
