Lets's calculate LCM of 272,852
2 | 272, 852 |
2 | 136, 426 |
68, 213 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 68 x 213 = 57936
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/57936
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2298/272,1181/852 is 1/57936
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 272,852 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(272,852) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(272,852) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(272,852) = ( 272 × 852 ) / 4
LCM(272,852) = 231744 / 4
LCM(272,852) = 57936
