Lets's calculate LCM of 802,776
2 | 802, 776 |
401, 388 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 401 x 388 = 311176
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/311176
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 596/802,916/776 is 4/311176
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 802,776 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(802,776) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(802,776) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(802,776) = ( 802 × 776 ) / 2
LCM(802,776) = 622352 / 2
LCM(802,776) = 311176
