So the greatest common factor 8515,3144 is 131.
Lets's calculate LCM of 286,732
2 | 286, 732 |
143, 366 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 143 x 366 = 104676
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 131/104676
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8515/286,3144/732 is 131/104676
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 286,732 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(286,732) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(286,732) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(286,732) = ( 286 × 732 ) / 2
LCM(286,732) = 209352 / 2
LCM(286,732) = 104676
