Lets's calculate LCM of 616,388
2 | 616, 388 |
2 | 308, 194 |
154, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 154 x 97 = 59752
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/59752
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 831/616,740/388 is 1/59752
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 616,388 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(616,388) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(616,388) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(616,388) = ( 616 × 388 ) / 4
LCM(616,388) = 239008 / 4
LCM(616,388) = 59752
