Lets's calculate LCM of 786,338
2 | 786, 338 |
393, 169 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 393 x 169 = 132834
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/132834
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3882/786,1252/338 is 2/132834
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 786,338 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(786,338) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(786,338) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(786,338) = ( 786 × 338 ) / 2
LCM(786,338) = 265668 / 2
LCM(786,338) = 132834
