Lets's calculate LCM of 520,738
2 | 520, 738 |
260, 369 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 260 x 369 = 191880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/191880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 875/520,636/738 is 1/191880
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 520,738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(520,738) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(520,738) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(520,738) = ( 520 × 738 ) / 2
LCM(520,738) = 383760 / 2
LCM(520,738) = 191880
