Lets's calculate LCM of 782,159
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 124338
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/124338
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 472/782,8018/159 is 2/124338
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 782,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(782,159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(782,159) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(782,159) = ( 782 × 159 ) / 1
LCM(782,159) = 124338 / 1
LCM(782,159) = 124338
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
