Lets's calculate LCM of 252,916
2 | 252, 916 |
2 | 126, 458 |
63, 229 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 63 x 229 = 57708
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 73/57708
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 949/252,584/916 is 73/57708
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 252,916 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(252,916) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(252,916) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(252,916) = ( 252 × 916 ) / 4
LCM(252,916) = 230832 / 4
LCM(252,916) = 57708
