So the greatest common factor 776,168 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 722,472
2 | 722, 472 |
361, 236 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 361 x 236 = 170392
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/170392
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 776/722,168/472 is 8/170392
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 722,472 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(722,472) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(722,472) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(722,472) = ( 722 × 472 ) / 2
LCM(722,472) = 340784 / 2
LCM(722,472) = 170392
