So the greatest common factor 7720,1546 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 196,399
7 | 196, 399 |
28, 57 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 28 x 57 = 11172
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/11172
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7720/196,1546/399 is 2/11172
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 196,399 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(196,399) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(196,399) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(196,399) = ( 196 × 399 ) / 7
LCM(196,399) = 78204 / 7
LCM(196,399) = 11172
