Lets's calculate LCM of 792,728
2 | 792, 728 |
2 | 396, 364 |
2 | 198, 182 |
99, 91 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 99 x 91 = 72072
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/72072
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1236/792,3475/728 is 1/72072
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 792,728 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(792,728) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(792,728) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(792,728) = ( 792 × 728 ) / 8
LCM(792,728) = 576576 / 8
LCM(792,728) = 72072
