So the greatest common factor 318,784 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,8781
3 | 12, 8781 |
4, 2927 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 4 x 2927 = 35124
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/35124
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 318/12,784/8781 is 2/35124
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 12,8781 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,8781) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,8781) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(12,8781) = ( 12 × 8781 ) / 3
LCM(12,8781) = 105372 / 3
LCM(12,8781) = 35124
