Lets's calculate LCM of 278,728
2 | 278, 728 |
139, 364 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 139 x 364 = 101192
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/101192
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7936/278,8517/728 is 1/101192
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 278,728 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(278,728) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(278,728) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(278,728) = ( 278 × 728 ) / 2
LCM(278,728) = 202384 / 2
LCM(278,728) = 101192
