Lets's calculate LCM of 532,118
2 | 532, 118 |
266, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 266 x 59 = 31388
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/31388
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 875/532,559/118 is 1/31388
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 532,118 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(532,118) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(532,118) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(532,118) = ( 532 × 118 ) / 2
LCM(532,118) = 62776 / 2
LCM(532,118) = 31388
