Lets's calculate LCM of 728,8996
2 | 728, 8996 |
2 | 364, 4498 |
13 | 182, 2249 |
14, 173 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 13 x 14 x 173 = 125944
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/125944
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2376/728,1194/8996 is 6/125944
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 728,8996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(728,8996) = 52
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(728,8996) x common factors =52 x 1 = 52
LCM(728,8996) = ( 728 × 8996 ) / 52
LCM(728,8996) = 6549088 / 52
LCM(728,8996) = 125944
