Lets's calculate LCM of 756,9334
2 | 756, 9334 |
378, 4667 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 378 x 4667 = 3528252
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3528252
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5955/756,3836/9334 is 1/3528252
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 756,9334 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(756,9334) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(756,9334) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(756,9334) = ( 756 × 9334 ) / 2
LCM(756,9334) = 7056504 / 2
LCM(756,9334) = 3528252
