Lets's calculate LCM of 763,208
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 158704
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/158704
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 718/763,940/208 is 2/158704
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 763,208 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(763,208) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(763,208) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(763,208) = ( 763 × 208 ) / 1
LCM(763,208) = 158704 / 1
LCM(763,208) = 158704
