Lets's calculate LCM of 876,5256
2 | 876, 5256 |
2 | 438, 2628 |
3 | 219, 1314 |
73 | 73, 438 |
1, 6 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 73 x 1 x 6 = 5256
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5256
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7975/876,1147/5256 is 1/5256
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 876,5256 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(876,5256) = 876
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(876,5256) x common factors =876 x 1 = 876
LCM(876,5256) = ( 876 × 5256 ) / 876
LCM(876,5256) = 4604256 / 876
LCM(876,5256) = 5256
