Lets's calculate LCM of 362,1820
2 | 362, 1820 |
181, 910 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 181 x 910 = 329420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/329420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7072/362,2378/1820 is 2/329420
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 362,1820 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(362,1820) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(362,1820) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(362,1820) = ( 362 × 1820 ) / 2
LCM(362,1820) = 658840 / 2
LCM(362,1820) = 329420
