Lets's calculate LCM of 785,378
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 296730
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/296730
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8838/785,5826/378 is 6/296730
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 785,378 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(785,378) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(785,378) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(785,378) = ( 785 × 378 ) / 1
LCM(785,378) = 296730 / 1
LCM(785,378) = 296730
