Lets's calculate LCM of 526,5872
2 | 526, 5872 |
263, 2936 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 263 x 2936 = 1544336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/1544336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6876/526,4326/5872 is 6/1544336
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 526,5872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(526,5872) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(526,5872) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(526,5872) = ( 526 × 5872 ) / 2
LCM(526,5872) = 3088672 / 2
LCM(526,5872) = 1544336
