Lets's calculate LCM of 796,9288
2 | 796, 9288 |
2 | 398, 4644 |
199, 2322 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 199 x 2322 = 1848312
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1848312
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7236/796,2566/9288 is 2/1848312
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 796,9288 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(796,9288) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(796,9288) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(796,9288) = ( 796 × 9288 ) / 4
LCM(796,9288) = 7393248 / 4
LCM(796,9288) = 1848312
