So the greatest common factor 764,712 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 962,378
2 | 962, 378 |
481, 189 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 481 x 189 = 181818
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/181818
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 764/962,712/378 is 4/181818
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 962,378 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(962,378) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(962,378) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(962,378) = ( 962 × 378 ) / 2
LCM(962,378) = 363636 / 2
LCM(962,378) = 181818
