Lets's calculate LCM of 252,8197
7 | 252, 8197 |
36, 1171 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 36 x 1171 = 295092
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/295092
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4442/252,8272/8197 is 2/295092
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 252,8197 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(252,8197) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(252,8197) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(252,8197) = ( 252 × 8197 ) / 7
LCM(252,8197) = 2065644 / 7
LCM(252,8197) = 295092
