Lets's calculate LCM of 272,536
2 | 272, 536 |
2 | 136, 268 |
2 | 68, 134 |
34, 67 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 34 x 67 = 18224
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/18224
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1728/272,7993/536 is 1/18224
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 272,536 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(272,536) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(272,536) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(272,536) = ( 272 × 536 ) / 8
LCM(272,536) = 145792 / 8
LCM(272,536) = 18224
