Lets's calculate LCM of 812,950
2 | 812, 950 |
406, 475 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 406 x 475 = 385700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/385700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7337/812,1727/950 is 11/385700
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 812,950 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(812,950) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(812,950) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(812,950) = ( 812 × 950 ) / 2
LCM(812,950) = 771400 / 2
LCM(812,950) = 385700
