Lets's calculate LCM of 792,972
2 | 792, 972 |
2 | 396, 486 |
3 | 198, 243 |
3 | 66, 81 |
22, 27 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 22 x 27 = 21384
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/21384
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 670/792,8956/972 is 2/21384
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 792,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(792,972) = 36
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(792,972) x common factors =36 x 1 = 36
LCM(792,972) = ( 792 × 972 ) / 36
LCM(792,972) = 769824 / 36
LCM(792,972) = 21384
