Lets's calculate LCM of 873,378
3 | 873, 378 |
3 | 291, 126 |
97, 42 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 97 x 42 = 36666
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/36666
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2074/873,5760/378 is 2/36666
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 873,378 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(873,378) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(873,378) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(873,378) = ( 873 × 378 ) / 9
LCM(873,378) = 329994 / 9
LCM(873,378) = 36666
