Lets's calculate LCM of 774,372
2 | 774, 372 |
3 | 387, 186 |
129, 62 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 129 x 62 = 47988
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/47988
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 483/774,224/372 is 7/47988
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 774,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(774,372) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(774,372) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(774,372) = ( 774 × 372 ) / 6
LCM(774,372) = 287928 / 6
LCM(774,372) = 47988
