Lets's calculate LCM of 376,197
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 74072
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/74072
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5586/376,7931/197 is 7/74072
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 376,197 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(376,197) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(376,197) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(376,197) = ( 376 × 197 ) / 1
LCM(376,197) = 74072 / 1
LCM(376,197) = 74072
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
