Lets's calculate LCM of 758,3596
2 | 758, 3596 |
379, 1798 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 379 x 1798 = 1362884
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1362884
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1138/758,1878/3596 is 2/1362884
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 758,3596 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(758,3596) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(758,3596) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(758,3596) = ( 758 × 3596 ) / 2
LCM(758,3596) = 2725768 / 2
LCM(758,3596) = 1362884
