Lets's calculate LCM of 374,5266
2 | 374, 5266 |
187, 2633 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 187 x 2633 = 984742
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/984742
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9708/374,7074/5266 is 6/984742
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 374,5266 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(374,5266) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(374,5266) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(374,5266) = ( 374 × 5266 ) / 2
LCM(374,5266) = 1969484 / 2
LCM(374,5266) = 984742
