So the greatest common factor 765,378 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,1180
2 | 32, 1180 |
2 | 16, 590 |
8, 295 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 8 x 295 = 9440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/9440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 765/32,378/1180 is 9/9440
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 32,1180 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,1180) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,1180) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(32,1180) = ( 32 × 1180 ) / 4
LCM(32,1180) = 37760 / 4
LCM(32,1180) = 9440
