Lets's calculate LCM of 324,7236
2 | 324, 7236 |
2 | 162, 3618 |
3 | 81, 1809 |
3 | 27, 603 |
3 | 9, 201 |
3, 67 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 67 = 21708
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21708
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3280/324,8581/7236 is 1/21708
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 324,7236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(324,7236) = 108
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(324,7236) x common factors =108 x 1 = 108
LCM(324,7236) = ( 324 × 7236 ) / 108
LCM(324,7236) = 2344464 / 108
LCM(324,7236) = 21708
