Lets's calculate LCM of 375,834
3 | 375, 834 |
125, 278 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 125 x 278 = 104250
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/104250
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2344/375,7136/834 is 8/104250
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 375,834 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(375,834) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(375,834) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(375,834) = ( 375 × 834 ) / 3
LCM(375,834) = 312750 / 3
LCM(375,834) = 104250
