Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 378,8982 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 378,8982 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 761,782
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 595102
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/595102
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 378/761,8982/782 is 18/595102
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 761,782 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(761,782) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(761,782) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(761,782) = ( 761 × 782 ) / 1
LCM(761,782) = 595102 / 1
LCM(761,782) = 595102
