Lets's calculate LCM of 838,876
2 | 838, 876 |
419, 438 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 419 x 438 = 367044
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/367044
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1780/838,5984/876 is 4/367044
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 838,876 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(838,876) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(838,876) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(838,876) = ( 838 × 876 ) / 2
LCM(838,876) = 734088 / 2
LCM(838,876) = 367044
