Lets's calculate LCM of 861,5256
3 | 861, 5256 |
287, 1752 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 287 x 1752 = 1508472
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1508472
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1145/861,1844/5256 is 1/1508472
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 861,5256 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(861,5256) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(861,5256) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(861,5256) = ( 861 × 5256 ) / 3
LCM(861,5256) = 4525416 / 3
LCM(861,5256) = 1508472
