So the greatest common factor 6786,3909 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 952,362
2 | 952, 362 |
476, 181 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 476 x 181 = 172312
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/172312
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6786/952,3909/362 is 3/172312
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 952,362 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(952,362) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(952,362) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(952,362) = ( 952 × 362 ) / 2
LCM(952,362) = 344624 / 2
LCM(952,362) = 172312
