Lets's calculate LCM of 748,1376
2 | 748, 1376 |
2 | 374, 688 |
187, 344 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 187 x 344 = 257312
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/257312
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1782/748,6488/1376 is 2/257312
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 748,1376 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(748,1376) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(748,1376) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(748,1376) = ( 748 × 1376 ) / 4
LCM(748,1376) = 1029248 / 4
LCM(748,1376) = 257312
