Lets's calculate LCM of 376,3758
2 | 376, 3758 |
188, 1879 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 188 x 1879 = 706504
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/706504
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4182/376,1542/3758 is 6/706504
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 376,3758 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(376,3758) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(376,3758) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(376,3758) = ( 376 × 3758 ) / 2
LCM(376,3758) = 1413008 / 2
LCM(376,3758) = 706504
