Lets's calculate LCM of 788,728
2 | 788, 728 |
2 | 394, 364 |
197, 182 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 197 x 182 = 143416
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/143416
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 986/788,711/728 is 1/143416
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 788,728 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(788,728) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(788,728) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(788,728) = ( 788 × 728 ) / 4
LCM(788,728) = 573664 / 4
LCM(788,728) = 143416
