Lets's calculate LCM of 300,852
2 | 300, 852 |
2 | 150, 426 |
3 | 75, 213 |
25, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 25 x 71 = 21300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1212/300,8455/852 is 1/21300
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 300,852 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(300,852) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(300,852) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(300,852) = ( 300 × 852 ) / 12
LCM(300,852) = 255600 / 12
LCM(300,852) = 21300
