So the greatest common factor 400,872 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 264,515
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 135960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/135960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 400/264,872/515 is 8/135960
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 264,515 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(264,515) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(264,515) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(264,515) = ( 264 × 515 ) / 1
LCM(264,515) = 135960 / 1
LCM(264,515) = 135960
