Lets's calculate LCM of 374,796
2 | 374, 796 |
187, 398 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 187 x 398 = 148852
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/148852
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6042/374,3623/796 is 1/148852
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 374,796 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(374,796) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(374,796) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(374,796) = ( 374 × 796 ) / 2
LCM(374,796) = 297704 / 2
LCM(374,796) = 148852
