2 | 186, 756 |
3 | 93, 378 |
31, 126 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 31 x 126 = 23436
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/23436
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 964/186,2542/756 is 2/23436
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 186,756 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(186,756) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(186,756) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(186,756) = ( 186 × 756 ) / 6
LCM(186,756) = 140616 / 6
LCM(186,756) = 23436
