So the greatest common factor 396,779 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 872,152
2 | 872, 152 |
2 | 436, 76 |
2 | 218, 38 |
109, 19 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 109 x 19 = 16568
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/16568
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 396/872,779/152 is 1/16568
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 872,152 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(872,152) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(872,152) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(872,152) = ( 872 × 152 ) / 8
LCM(872,152) = 132544 / 8
LCM(872,152) = 16568
