Lets's calculate LCM of 78,7378
2 | 78, 7378 |
39, 3689 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 39 x 3689 = 287742
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/287742
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 962/78,968/7378 is 2/287742
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 78,7378 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,7378) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,7378) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(78,7378) = ( 78 × 7378 ) / 2
LCM(78,7378) = 575484 / 2
LCM(78,7378) = 287742
