So the greatest common factor 382,304 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 56,7442
2 | 56, 7442 |
28, 3721 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 28 x 3721 = 208376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/208376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 382/56,304/7442 is 2/208376
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 56,7442 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(56,7442) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(56,7442) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(56,7442) = ( 56 × 7442 ) / 2
LCM(56,7442) = 416752 / 2
LCM(56,7442) = 208376
