Lets's calculate LCM of 722,178
2 | 722, 178 |
361, 89 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 361 x 89 = 64258
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/64258
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7916/722,6260/178 is 4/64258
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 722,178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(722,178) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(722,178) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(722,178) = ( 722 × 178 ) / 2
LCM(722,178) = 128516 / 2
LCM(722,178) = 64258
