Lets's calculate LCM of 534,864
2 | 534, 864 |
3 | 267, 432 |
89, 144 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 89 x 144 = 76896
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/76896
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 229/534,472/864 is 1/76896
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 534,864 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(534,864) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(534,864) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(534,864) = ( 534 × 864 ) / 6
LCM(534,864) = 461376 / 6
LCM(534,864) = 76896
