Lets's calculate LCM of 216,852
2 | 216, 852 |
2 | 108, 426 |
3 | 54, 213 |
18, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 18 x 71 = 15336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3733/216,1553/852 is 1/15336
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 216,852 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(216,852) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(216,852) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(216,852) = ( 216 × 852 ) / 12
LCM(216,852) = 184032 / 12
LCM(216,852) = 15336
