So the greatest common factor 212,4505 is 53.
Lets's calculate LCM of 758,978
2 | 758, 978 |
379, 489 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 379 x 489 = 370662
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 53/370662
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 212/758,4505/978 is 53/370662
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 758,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(758,978) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(758,978) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(758,978) = ( 758 × 978 ) / 2
LCM(758,978) = 741324 / 2
LCM(758,978) = 370662
