Lets's calculate LCM of 72,878
2 | 72, 878 |
36, 439 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 36 x 439 = 31608
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/31608
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7227/72,1818/878 is 9/31608
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 72,878 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,878) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,878) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(72,878) = ( 72 × 878 ) / 2
LCM(72,878) = 63216 / 2
LCM(72,878) = 31608
