Lets's calculate LCM of 522,204
2 | 522, 204 |
3 | 261, 102 |
87, 34 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 87 x 34 = 17748
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/17748
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 532/522,2378/204 is 2/17748
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 522,204 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(522,204) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(522,204) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(522,204) = ( 522 × 204 ) / 6
LCM(522,204) = 106488 / 6
LCM(522,204) = 17748
