So the greatest common factor 438,352 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 722,212
2 | 722, 212 |
361, 106 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 361 x 106 = 76532
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/76532
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 438/722,352/212 is 2/76532
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 722,212 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(722,212) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(722,212) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(722,212) = ( 722 × 212 ) / 2
LCM(722,212) = 153064 / 2
LCM(722,212) = 76532
