We found the factors 432,7056 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 432,7056 is 144.
Lets's calculate LCM of 788,476
2 | 788, 476 |
2 | 394, 238 |
197, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 197 x 119 = 93772
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 144/93772
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 432/788,7056/476 is 144/93772
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 788,476 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(788,476) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(788,476) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(788,476) = ( 788 × 476 ) / 4
LCM(788,476) = 375088 / 4
LCM(788,476) = 93772
