So the greatest common factor 8808,9876 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 296,524
2 | 296, 524 |
2 | 148, 262 |
74, 131 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 74 x 131 = 38776
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/38776
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8808/296,9876/524 is 12/38776
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 296,524 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(296,524) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(296,524) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(296,524) = ( 296 × 524 ) / 4
LCM(296,524) = 155104 / 4
LCM(296,524) = 38776
