So the greatest common factor 477,1968 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 82,779
41 | 82, 779 |
2, 19 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 41 x 2 x 19 = 1558
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1558
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 477/82,1968/779 is 3/1558
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 82,779 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,779) = 41
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,779) x common factors =41 x 1 = 41
LCM(82,779) = ( 82 × 779 ) / 41
LCM(82,779) = 63878 / 41
LCM(82,779) = 1558
