So the greatest common factor 632,884 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 255,291
3 | 255, 291 |
85, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 85 x 97 = 24735
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/24735
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 632/255,884/291 is 4/24735
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 255,291 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(255,291) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(255,291) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(255,291) = ( 255 × 291 ) / 3
LCM(255,291) = 74205 / 3
LCM(255,291) = 24735
