Lets's calculate LCM of 852,624
2 | 852, 624 |
2 | 426, 312 |
3 | 213, 156 |
71, 52 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 71 x 52 = 44304
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/44304
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 319/852,242/624 is 11/44304
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 852,624 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(852,624) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(852,624) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(852,624) = ( 852 × 624 ) / 12
LCM(852,624) = 531648 / 12
LCM(852,624) = 44304
