We found the factors 872,504 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 872,504 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 268,372
2 | 268, 372 |
2 | 134, 186 |
67, 93 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 67 x 93 = 24924
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/24924
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 872/268,504/372 is 8/24924
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 268,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(268,372) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(268,372) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(268,372) = ( 268 × 372 ) / 4
LCM(268,372) = 99696 / 4
LCM(268,372) = 24924
