Lets's calculate LCM of 82,2178
2 | 82, 2178 |
41, 1089 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 41 x 1089 = 89298
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 38/89298
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 760/82,342/2178 is 38/89298
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 82,2178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,2178) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,2178) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(82,2178) = ( 82 × 2178 ) / 2
LCM(82,2178) = 178596 / 2
LCM(82,2178) = 89298
