So the greatest common factor 132,246 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 76,5658
2 | 76, 5658 |
38, 2829 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 38 x 2829 = 215004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/215004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 132/76,246/5658 is 6/215004
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 76,5658 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(76,5658) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(76,5658) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(76,5658) = ( 76 × 5658 ) / 2
LCM(76,5658) = 430008 / 2
LCM(76,5658) = 215004
