Lets's calculate LCM of 268,512
2 | 268, 512 |
2 | 134, 256 |
67, 128 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 67 x 128 = 34304
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/34304
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 783/268,312/512 is 3/34304
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 268,512 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(268,512) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(268,512) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(268,512) = ( 268 × 512 ) / 4
LCM(268,512) = 137216 / 4
LCM(268,512) = 34304
