Lets's calculate LCM of 980,764
2 | 980, 764 |
2 | 490, 382 |
245, 191 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 245 x 191 = 187180
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/187180
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 537/980,4689/764 is 3/187180
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 980,764 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(980,764) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(980,764) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(980,764) = ( 980 × 764 ) / 4
LCM(980,764) = 748720 / 4
LCM(980,764) = 187180
