So the greatest common factor 752,1072 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 879,516
3 | 879, 516 |
293, 172 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 293 x 172 = 151188
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/151188
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 752/879,1072/516 is 16/151188
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 879,516 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(879,516) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(879,516) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(879,516) = ( 879 × 516 ) / 3
LCM(879,516) = 453564 / 3
LCM(879,516) = 151188
