Lets's calculate LCM of 256,372
2 | 256, 372 |
2 | 128, 186 |
64, 93 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 64 x 93 = 23808
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/23808
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 421/256,627/372 is 1/23808
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 256,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(256,372) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(256,372) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(256,372) = ( 256 × 372 ) / 4
LCM(256,372) = 95232 / 4
LCM(256,372) = 23808
