Lets's calculate LCM of 774,168
2 | 774, 168 |
3 | 387, 84 |
129, 28 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 129 x 28 = 21672
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/21672
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3504/774,9376/168 is 16/21672
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 774,168 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(774,168) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(774,168) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(774,168) = ( 774 × 168 ) / 6
LCM(774,168) = 130032 / 6
LCM(774,168) = 21672
