Lets's calculate LCM of 394,758
2 | 394, 758 |
197, 379 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 197 x 379 = 149326
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/149326
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1517/394,1374/758 is 1/149326
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 394,758 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(394,758) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(394,758) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(394,758) = ( 394 × 758 ) / 2
LCM(394,758) = 298652 / 2
LCM(394,758) = 149326
