Lets's calculate LCM of 812,196
2 | 812, 196 |
2 | 406, 98 |
7 | 203, 49 |
29, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 x 29 x 7 = 5684
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 169/5684
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 507/812,676/196 is 169/5684
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 812,196 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(812,196) = 28
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(812,196) x common factors =28 x 1 = 28
LCM(812,196) = ( 812 × 196 ) / 28
LCM(812,196) = 159152 / 28
LCM(812,196) = 5684
