Lets's calculate LCM of 789,304
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 239856
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/239856
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 676/789,478/304 is 2/239856
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 789,304 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(789,304) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(789,304) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(789,304) = ( 789 × 304 ) / 1
LCM(789,304) = 239856 / 1
LCM(789,304) = 239856
