So the greatest common factor 276,216 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 536,377
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 202072
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/202072
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 276/536,216/377 is 12/202072
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 536,377 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(536,377) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(536,377) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(536,377) = ( 536 × 377 ) / 1
LCM(536,377) = 202072 / 1
LCM(536,377) = 202072
