Lets's calculate LCM of 332,612
2 | 332, 612 |
2 | 166, 306 |
83, 153 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 83 x 153 = 50796
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/50796
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 182/332,538/612 is 2/50796
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 332,612 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(332,612) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(332,612) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(332,612) = ( 332 × 612 ) / 4
LCM(332,612) = 203184 / 4
LCM(332,612) = 50796
