So the greatest common factor 5376,8664 is 24.
Lets's calculate LCM of 724,246
2 | 724, 246 |
362, 123 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 362 x 123 = 89052
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 24/89052
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5376/724,8664/246 is 24/89052
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 724,246 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(724,246) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(724,246) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(724,246) = ( 724 × 246 ) / 2
LCM(724,246) = 178104 / 2
LCM(724,246) = 89052
