Lets's calculate LCM of 276,4506
2 | 276, 4506 |
3 | 138, 2253 |
46, 751 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 46 x 751 = 207276
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/207276
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2256/276,8434/4506 is 2/207276
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 276,4506 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(276,4506) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(276,4506) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(276,4506) = ( 276 × 4506 ) / 6
LCM(276,4506) = 1243656 / 6
LCM(276,4506) = 207276
