We found the factors 726,8376 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 726,8376 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 212,7920
2 | 212, 7920 |
2 | 106, 3960 |
53, 1980 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 53 x 1980 = 419760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/419760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 726/212,8376/7920 is 6/419760
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 212,7920 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(212,7920) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(212,7920) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(212,7920) = ( 212 × 7920 ) / 4
LCM(212,7920) = 1679040 / 4
LCM(212,7920) = 419760
