Lets's calculate LCM of 258,672
2 | 258, 672 |
3 | 129, 336 |
43, 112 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 43 x 112 = 28896
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/28896
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 871/258,726/672 is 1/28896
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 258,672 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(258,672) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(258,672) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(258,672) = ( 258 × 672 ) / 6
LCM(258,672) = 173376 / 6
LCM(258,672) = 28896
