Lets's calculate LCM of 762,734
2 | 762, 734 |
381, 367 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 381 x 367 = 279654
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/279654
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 976/762,1648/734 is 16/279654
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 762,734 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(762,734) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(762,734) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(762,734) = ( 762 × 734 ) / 2
LCM(762,734) = 559308 / 2
LCM(762,734) = 279654
