Lets's calculate LCM of 264,876
2 | 264, 876 |
2 | 132, 438 |
3 | 66, 219 |
22, 73 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 22 x 73 = 19272
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/19272
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3539/264,5335/876 is 1/19272
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 264,876 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(264,876) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(264,876) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(264,876) = ( 264 × 876 ) / 12
LCM(264,876) = 231264 / 12
LCM(264,876) = 19272
