Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7478,7664 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7478,7664 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 789,968
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 763752
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/763752
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7478/789,7664/968 is 2/763752
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 789,968 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(789,968) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(789,968) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(789,968) = ( 789 × 968 ) / 1
LCM(789,968) = 763752 / 1
LCM(789,968) = 763752
