Lets's calculate LCM of 378,1302
2 | 378, 1302 |
3 | 189, 651 |
7 | 63, 217 |
9, 31 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 9 x 31 = 11718
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/11718
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5780/378,6884/1302 is 4/11718
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 378,1302 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(378,1302) = 42
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(378,1302) x common factors =42 x 1 = 42
LCM(378,1302) = ( 378 × 1302 ) / 42
LCM(378,1302) = 492156 / 42
LCM(378,1302) = 11718
