Lets's calculate LCM of 517,572
11 | 517, 572 |
47, 52 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 47 x 52 = 26884
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/26884
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 876/517,512/572 is 4/26884
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 517,572 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(517,572) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(517,572) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(517,572) = ( 517 × 572 ) / 11
LCM(517,572) = 295724 / 11
LCM(517,572) = 26884
