Lets's calculate LCM of 717,402
3 | 717, 402 |
239, 134 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 239 x 134 = 96078
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/96078
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 826/717,8638/402 is 14/96078
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 717,402 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(717,402) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(717,402) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(717,402) = ( 717 × 402 ) / 3
LCM(717,402) = 288234 / 3
LCM(717,402) = 96078
