Lets's calculate LCM of 372,7968
2 | 372, 7968 |
2 | 186, 3984 |
3 | 93, 1992 |
31, 664 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 31 x 664 = 247008
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 25/247008
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5275/372,3375/7968 is 25/247008
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 372,7968 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(372,7968) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(372,7968) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(372,7968) = ( 372 × 7968 ) / 12
LCM(372,7968) = 2964096 / 12
LCM(372,7968) = 247008
