So the greatest common factor 726,536 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 76,688
2 | 76, 688 |
2 | 38, 344 |
19, 172 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 19 x 172 = 13072
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/13072
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 726/76,536/688 is 2/13072
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 76,688 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(76,688) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(76,688) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(76,688) = ( 76 × 688 ) / 4
LCM(76,688) = 52288 / 4
LCM(76,688) = 13072
