Lets's calculate LCM of 379,978
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 370662
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/370662
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 434/379,8440/978 is 2/370662
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 379,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(379,978) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(379,978) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(379,978) = ( 379 × 978 ) / 1
LCM(379,978) = 370662 / 1
LCM(379,978) = 370662
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
