Lets's calculate LCM of 438,852
2 | 438, 852 |
3 | 219, 426 |
73, 142 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 73 x 142 = 62196
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/62196
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8661/438,4615/852 is 1/62196
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 438,852 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(438,852) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(438,852) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(438,852) = ( 438 × 852 ) / 6
LCM(438,852) = 373176 / 6
LCM(438,852) = 62196
