Lets's calculate LCM of 876,748
2 | 876, 748 |
2 | 438, 374 |
219, 187 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 219 x 187 = 163812
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/163812
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3887/876,5066/748 is 1/163812
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 876,748 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(876,748) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(876,748) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(876,748) = ( 876 × 748 ) / 4
LCM(876,748) = 655248 / 4
LCM(876,748) = 163812
