Lets's calculate LCM of 292,252
2 | 292, 252 |
2 | 146, 126 |
73, 63 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 73 x 63 = 18396
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/18396
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 346/292,4746/252 is 2/18396
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 292,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(292,252) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(292,252) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(292,252) = ( 292 × 252 ) / 4
LCM(292,252) = 73584 / 4
LCM(292,252) = 18396
