Lets's calculate LCM of 196,784
2 | 196, 784 |
2 | 98, 392 |
7 | 49, 196 |
7 | 7, 28 |
1, 4 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 x 7 x 1 x 4 = 784
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/784
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 264/196,389/784 is 1/784
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 196,784 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(196,784) = 196
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(196,784) x common factors =196 x 1 = 196
LCM(196,784) = ( 196 × 784 ) / 196
LCM(196,784) = 153664 / 196
LCM(196,784) = 784
