Lets's calculate LCM of 376,1008
2 | 376, 1008 |
2 | 188, 504 |
2 | 94, 252 |
47, 126 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 47 x 126 = 47376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/47376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5831/376,1141/1008 is 7/47376
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 376,1008 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(376,1008) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(376,1008) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(376,1008) = ( 376 × 1008 ) / 8
LCM(376,1008) = 379008 / 8
LCM(376,1008) = 47376
