Lets's calculate LCM of 204,582
2 | 204, 582 |
3 | 102, 291 |
34, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 34 x 97 = 19788
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/19788
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 260/204,429/582 is 13/19788
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 204,582 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(204,582) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(204,582) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(204,582) = ( 204 × 582 ) / 6
LCM(204,582) = 118728 / 6
LCM(204,582) = 19788
