Lets's calculate LCM of 752,836
2 | 752, 836 |
2 | 376, 418 |
188, 209 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 188 x 209 = 157168
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/157168
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 206/752,1185/836 is 1/157168
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 752,836 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(752,836) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(752,836) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(752,836) = ( 752 × 836 ) / 4
LCM(752,836) = 628672 / 4
LCM(752,836) = 157168
