Lets's calculate LCM of 879,7296
3 | 879, 7296 |
293, 2432 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 293 x 2432 = 2137728
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2137728
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2295/879,8238/7296 is 3/2137728
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 879,7296 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(879,7296) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(879,7296) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(879,7296) = ( 879 × 7296 ) / 3
LCM(879,7296) = 6413184 / 3
LCM(879,7296) = 2137728
