Lets's calculate LCM of 98,7606
2 | 98, 7606 |
49, 3803 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 49 x 3803 = 372694
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/372694
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 748/98,838/7606 is 2/372694
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 98,7606 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(98,7606) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(98,7606) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(98,7606) = ( 98 × 7606 ) / 2
LCM(98,7606) = 745388 / 2
LCM(98,7606) = 372694
