So the greatest common factor 374,5744 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,796
2 | 60, 796 |
2 | 30, 398 |
15, 199 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 15 x 199 = 11940
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/11940
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 374/60,5744/796 is 2/11940
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 60,796 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,796) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(60,796) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(60,796) = ( 60 × 796 ) / 4
LCM(60,796) = 47760 / 4
LCM(60,796) = 11940
