Lets's calculate LCM of 904,504
2 | 904, 504 |
2 | 452, 252 |
2 | 226, 126 |
113, 63 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 113 x 63 = 56952
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/56952
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 480/904,3876/504 is 12/56952
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 904,504 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(904,504) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(904,504) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(904,504) = ( 904 × 504 ) / 8
LCM(904,504) = 455616 / 8
LCM(904,504) = 56952
