So the greatest common factor 782,322 is 46.
Lets's calculate LCM of 342,728
2 | 342, 728 |
171, 364 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 171 x 364 = 124488
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 46/124488
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 782/342,322/728 is 46/124488
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 342,728 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(342,728) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(342,728) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(342,728) = ( 342 × 728 ) / 2
LCM(342,728) = 248976 / 2
LCM(342,728) = 124488
