Lets's calculate LCM of 256,828
2 | 256, 828 |
2 | 128, 414 |
64, 207 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 64 x 207 = 52992
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/52992
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 284/256,706/828 is 2/52992
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 256,828 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(256,828) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(256,828) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(256,828) = ( 256 × 828 ) / 4
LCM(256,828) = 211968 / 4
LCM(256,828) = 52992
