Lets's calculate LCM of 273,4044
3 | 273, 4044 |
91, 1348 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 91 x 1348 = 368004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/368004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1296/273,5188/4044 is 4/368004
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 273,4044 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(273,4044) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(273,4044) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(273,4044) = ( 273 × 4044 ) / 3
LCM(273,4044) = 1104012 / 3
LCM(273,4044) = 368004
