Lets's calculate LCM of 780,377
13 | 780, 377 |
60, 29 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 60 x 29 = 22620
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 36/22620
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 504/780,3996/377 is 36/22620
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 780,377 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(780,377) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(780,377) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(780,377) = ( 780 × 377 ) / 13
LCM(780,377) = 294060 / 13
LCM(780,377) = 22620
