Lets's calculate LCM of 723,408
3 | 723, 408 |
241, 136 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 241 x 136 = 98328
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/98328
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3816/723,7162/408 is 2/98328
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 723,408 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(723,408) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(723,408) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(723,408) = ( 723 × 408 ) / 3
LCM(723,408) = 294984 / 3
LCM(723,408) = 98328
