Lets's calculate LCM of 976,300
2 | 976, 300 |
2 | 488, 150 |
244, 75 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 244 x 75 = 73200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/73200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 546/976,868/300 is 14/73200
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 976,300 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(976,300) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(976,300) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(976,300) = ( 976 × 300 ) / 4
LCM(976,300) = 292800 / 4
LCM(976,300) = 73200
