Lets's calculate LCM of 776,918
2 | 776, 918 |
388, 459 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 388 x 459 = 356184
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/356184
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6972/776,5089/918 is 7/356184
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 776,918 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(776,918) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(776,918) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(776,918) = ( 776 × 918 ) / 2
LCM(776,918) = 712368 / 2
LCM(776,918) = 356184
