Lets's calculate LCM of 102,778
2 | 102, 778 |
51, 389 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 51 x 389 = 39678
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 103/39678
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 721/102,4429/778 is 103/39678
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 102,778 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(102,778) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(102,778) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(102,778) = ( 102 × 778 ) / 2
LCM(102,778) = 79356 / 2
LCM(102,778) = 39678
