Lets's calculate LCM of 376,278
2 | 376, 278 |
188, 139 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 188 x 139 = 52264
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/52264
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8242/376,1727/278 is 1/52264
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 376,278 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(376,278) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(376,278) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(376,278) = ( 376 × 278 ) / 2
LCM(376,278) = 104528 / 2
LCM(376,278) = 52264
