So the greatest common factor 192,516 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 766,720
2 | 766, 720 |
383, 360 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 383 x 360 = 275760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/275760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 192/766,516/720 is 12/275760
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 766,720 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(766,720) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(766,720) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(766,720) = ( 766 × 720 ) / 2
LCM(766,720) = 551520 / 2
LCM(766,720) = 275760
