So the greatest common factor 912,156 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 66,532
2 | 66, 532 |
33, 266 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 33 x 266 = 17556
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/17556
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 912/66,156/532 is 12/17556
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 66,532 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(66,532) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(66,532) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(66,532) = ( 66 × 532 ) / 2
LCM(66,532) = 35112 / 2
LCM(66,532) = 17556
