Lets's calculate LCM of 342,534
2 | 342, 534 |
3 | 171, 267 |
57, 89 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 57 x 89 = 30438
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/30438
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 512/342,9260/534 is 4/30438
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 342,534 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(342,534) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(342,534) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(342,534) = ( 342 × 534 ) / 6
LCM(342,534) = 182628 / 6
LCM(342,534) = 30438
