We found the factors 7164,8388 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7164,8388 is 36.
Lets's calculate LCM of 578,730
2 | 578, 730 |
289, 365 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 289 x 365 = 210970
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 36/210970
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7164/578,8388/730 is 36/210970
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 578,730 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(578,730) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(578,730) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(578,730) = ( 578 × 730 ) / 2
LCM(578,730) = 421940 / 2
LCM(578,730) = 210970
