Lets's calculate LCM of 528,325
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 171600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/171600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 264/528,872/325 is 8/171600
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 528,325 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(528,325) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(528,325) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(528,325) = ( 528 × 325 ) / 1
LCM(528,325) = 171600 / 1
LCM(528,325) = 171600
