Lets's calculate LCM of 786,972
2 | 786, 972 |
3 | 393, 486 |
131, 162 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 131 x 162 = 127332
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/127332
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5463/786,8871/972 is 3/127332
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 786,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(786,972) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(786,972) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(786,972) = ( 786 × 972 ) / 6
LCM(786,972) = 763992 / 6
LCM(786,972) = 127332
