So the greatest common factor 400,928 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 156,852
2 | 156, 852 |
2 | 78, 426 |
3 | 39, 213 |
13, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 13 x 71 = 11076
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/11076
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 400/156,928/852 is 16/11076
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 156,852 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(156,852) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(156,852) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(156,852) = ( 156 × 852 ) / 12
LCM(156,852) = 132912 / 12
LCM(156,852) = 11076
