Lets's calculate LCM of 795,768
3 | 795, 768 |
265, 256 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 265 x 256 = 203520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/203520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 942/795,9165/768 is 3/203520
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 795,768 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(795,768) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(795,768) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(795,768) = ( 795 × 768 ) / 3
LCM(795,768) = 610560 / 3
LCM(795,768) = 203520
