Lets's calculate LCM of 478,7716
2 | 478, 7716 |
239, 3858 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 239 x 3858 = 1844124
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1844124
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3952/478,1535/7716 is 1/1844124
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 478,7716 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(478,7716) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(478,7716) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(478,7716) = ( 478 × 7716 ) / 2
LCM(478,7716) = 3688248 / 2
LCM(478,7716) = 1844124
