Lets's calculate LCM of 496,752
2 | 496, 752 |
2 | 248, 376 |
2 | 124, 188 |
2 | 62, 94 |
31, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 31 x 47 = 23312
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 36/23312
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5256/496,9756/752 is 36/23312
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 496,752 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(496,752) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(496,752) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(496,752) = ( 496 × 752 ) / 16
LCM(496,752) = 372992 / 16
LCM(496,752) = 23312
