Lets's calculate LCM of 212,520
2 | 212, 520 |
2 | 106, 260 |
53, 130 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 53 x 130 = 27560
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/27560
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 906/212,279/520 is 3/27560
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 212,520 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(212,520) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(212,520) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(212,520) = ( 212 × 520 ) / 4
LCM(212,520) = 110240 / 4
LCM(212,520) = 27560
