Lets's calculate LCM of 674,523
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 352502
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/352502
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9238/674,3556/523 is 2/352502
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 674,523 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(674,523) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(674,523) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(674,523) = ( 674 × 523 ) / 1
LCM(674,523) = 352502 / 1
LCM(674,523) = 352502
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
