So the greatest common factor 392,952 is 56.
Lets's calculate LCM of 81,378
3 | 81, 378 |
3 | 27, 126 |
3 | 9, 42 |
3, 14 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 14 = 1134
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 56/1134
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 392/81,952/378 is 56/1134
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 81,378 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(81,378) = 27
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(81,378) x common factors =27 x 1 = 27
LCM(81,378) = ( 81 × 378 ) / 27
LCM(81,378) = 30618 / 27
LCM(81,378) = 1134
