Lets's calculate LCM of 398,6768
2 | 398, 6768 |
199, 3384 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 199 x 3384 = 1346832
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1346832
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 251/398,1798/6768 is 1/1346832
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 398,6768 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(398,6768) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(398,6768) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(398,6768) = ( 398 × 6768 ) / 2
LCM(398,6768) = 2693664 / 2
LCM(398,6768) = 1346832
