Lets's calculate LCM of 256,542
2 | 256, 542 |
128, 271 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 128 x 271 = 69376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/69376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 860/256,367/542 is 1/69376
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 256,542 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(256,542) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(256,542) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(256,542) = ( 256 × 542 ) / 2
LCM(256,542) = 138752 / 2
LCM(256,542) = 69376
