Lets's calculate LCM of 760,596
2 | 760, 596 |
2 | 380, 298 |
190, 149 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 190 x 149 = 113240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/113240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7152/760,5340/596 is 12/113240
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 760,596 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(760,596) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(760,596) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(760,596) = ( 760 × 596 ) / 4
LCM(760,596) = 452960 / 4
LCM(760,596) = 113240
