Lets's calculate LCM of 76,9978
2 | 76, 9978 |
38, 4989 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 38 x 4989 = 379164
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/379164
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 186/76,885/9978 is 3/379164
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 76,9978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(76,9978) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(76,9978) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(76,9978) = ( 76 × 9978 ) / 2
LCM(76,9978) = 758328 / 2
LCM(76,9978) = 379164
