So the greatest common factor 7262,1002 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 762,621
3 | 762, 621 |
254, 207 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 254 x 207 = 157734
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/157734
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7262/762,1002/621 is 2/157734
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 762,621 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(762,621) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(762,621) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(762,621) = ( 762 × 621 ) / 3
LCM(762,621) = 473202 / 3
LCM(762,621) = 157734
