Lets's calculate LCM of 256,9972
2 | 256, 9972 |
2 | 128, 4986 |
64, 2493 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 64 x 2493 = 638208
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/638208
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9399/256,3743/9972 is 1/638208
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 256,9972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(256,9972) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(256,9972) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(256,9972) = ( 256 × 9972 ) / 4
LCM(256,9972) = 2552832 / 4
LCM(256,9972) = 638208
