Lets's calculate LCM of 932,272
2 | 932, 272 |
2 | 466, 136 |
233, 68 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 233 x 68 = 63376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/63376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 331/932,984/272 is 1/63376
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 932,272 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(932,272) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(932,272) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(932,272) = ( 932 × 272 ) / 4
LCM(932,272) = 253504 / 4
LCM(932,272) = 63376
