Lets's calculate LCM of 526,240
| 2 | 526, 240 |
| 263, 120 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 263 x 120 = 63120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/63120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 566/526,472/240 is 2/63120
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 526,240 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(526,240) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(526,240) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(526,240) = ( 526 × 240 ) / 2
LCM(526,240) = 126240 / 2
LCM(526,240) = 63120
