Lets's calculate LCM of 852,4317
3 | 852, 4317 |
284, 1439 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 284 x 1439 = 1226028
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1226028
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2012/852,2601/4317 is 1/1226028
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 852,4317 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(852,4317) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(852,4317) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(852,4317) = ( 852 × 4317 ) / 3
LCM(852,4317) = 3678084 / 3
LCM(852,4317) = 1226028
