Lets's calculate LCM of 930,352
2 | 930, 352 |
465, 176 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 465 x 176 = 163680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 142/163680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 852/930,8662/352 is 142/163680
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 930,352 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(930,352) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(930,352) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(930,352) = ( 930 × 352 ) / 2
LCM(930,352) = 327360 / 2
LCM(930,352) = 163680
