So the greatest common factor 784,704 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 374,784
2 | 374, 784 |
187, 392 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 187 x 392 = 146608
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/146608
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 784/374,704/784 is 16/146608
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 374,784 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(374,784) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(374,784) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(374,784) = ( 374 × 784 ) / 2
LCM(374,784) = 293216 / 2
LCM(374,784) = 146608
