Lets's calculate LCM of 786,324
2 | 786, 324 |
3 | 393, 162 |
131, 54 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 131 x 54 = 42444
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/42444
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8787/786,7998/324 is 3/42444
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 786,324 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(786,324) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(786,324) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(786,324) = ( 786 × 324 ) / 6
LCM(786,324) = 254664 / 6
LCM(786,324) = 42444
