Lets's calculate LCM of 378,9444
2 | 378, 9444 |
3 | 189, 4722 |
63, 1574 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 63 x 1574 = 594972
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/594972
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5780/378,2966/9444 is 2/594972
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 378,9444 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(378,9444) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(378,9444) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(378,9444) = ( 378 × 9444 ) / 6
LCM(378,9444) = 3569832 / 6
LCM(378,9444) = 594972
