Lets's calculate LCM of 632,972
2 | 632, 972 |
2 | 316, 486 |
158, 243 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 158 x 243 = 153576
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/153576
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 152/632,958/972 is 2/153576
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 632,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(632,972) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(632,972) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(632,972) = ( 632 × 972 ) / 4
LCM(632,972) = 614304 / 4
LCM(632,972) = 153576
