Lets's calculate LCM of 708,796
2 | 708, 796 |
2 | 354, 398 |
177, 199 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 177 x 199 = 140892
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/140892
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 252/708,7316/796 is 4/140892
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 708,796 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(708,796) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(708,796) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(708,796) = ( 708 × 796 ) / 4
LCM(708,796) = 563568 / 4
LCM(708,796) = 140892
