Lets's calculate LCM of 372,882
2 | 372, 882 |
3 | 186, 441 |
62, 147 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 62 x 147 = 54684
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/54684
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 879/372,5229/882 is 3/54684
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 372,882 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(372,882) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(372,882) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(372,882) = ( 372 × 882 ) / 6
LCM(372,882) = 328104 / 6
LCM(372,882) = 54684
