Lets's calculate LCM of 536,804
2 | 536, 804 |
2 | 268, 402 |
67 | 134, 201 |
2, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 67 x 2 x 3 = 1608
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1608
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8987/536,3485/804 is 1/1608
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 536,804 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(536,804) = 268
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(536,804) x common factors =268 x 1 = 268
LCM(536,804) = ( 536 × 804 ) / 268
LCM(536,804) = 430944 / 268
LCM(536,804) = 1608
