Lets's calculate LCM of 238,704
2 | 238, 704 |
119, 352 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 119 x 352 = 83776
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/83776
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8727/238,4993/704 is 1/83776
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 238,704 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(238,704) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(238,704) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(238,704) = ( 238 × 704 ) / 2
LCM(238,704) = 167552 / 2
LCM(238,704) = 83776
