Lets's calculate LCM of 242,552
2 | 242, 552 |
121, 276 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 121 x 276 = 66792
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/66792
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2036/242,7589/552 is 1/66792
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 242,552 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(242,552) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(242,552) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(242,552) = ( 242 × 552 ) / 2
LCM(242,552) = 133584 / 2
LCM(242,552) = 66792
