Lets's calculate LCM of 261,738
3 | 261, 738 |
3 | 87, 246 |
29, 82 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 29 x 82 = 21402
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/21402
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 264/261,8230/738 is 2/21402
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 261,738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(261,738) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(261,738) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(261,738) = ( 261 × 738 ) / 9
LCM(261,738) = 192618 / 9
LCM(261,738) = 21402
