2 | 188, 3894 |
94, 1947 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 94 x 1947 = 732072
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/732072
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4548/376,5217/7788 is 3/732072
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 376,7788 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(376,7788) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(376,7788) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(376,7788) = ( 376 × 7788 ) / 4
LCM(376,7788) = 2928288 / 4
LCM(376,7788) = 732072
