Lets's calculate LCM of 852,280
2 | 852, 280 |
2 | 426, 140 |
213, 70 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 213 x 70 = 59640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/59640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 562/852,302/280 is 2/59640
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 852,280 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(852,280) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(852,280) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(852,280) = ( 852 × 280 ) / 4
LCM(852,280) = 238560 / 4
LCM(852,280) = 59640
