Lets's calculate LCM of 776,286
2 | 776, 286 |
388, 143 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 388 x 143 = 110968
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/110968
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5048/776,2372/286 is 4/110968
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 776,286 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(776,286) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(776,286) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(776,286) = ( 776 × 286 ) / 2
LCM(776,286) = 221936 / 2
LCM(776,286) = 110968
