Lets's calculate LCM of 758,592
2 | 758, 592 |
379, 296 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 379 x 296 = 224368
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/224368
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4761/758,2949/592 is 3/224368
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 758,592 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(758,592) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(758,592) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(758,592) = ( 758 × 592 ) / 2
LCM(758,592) = 448736 / 2
LCM(758,592) = 224368
