Lets's calculate LCM of 264,688
2 | 264, 688 |
2 | 132, 344 |
2 | 66, 172 |
33, 86 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 33 x 86 = 22704
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/22704
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 976/264,558/688 is 2/22704
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 264,688 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(264,688) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(264,688) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(264,688) = ( 264 × 688 ) / 8
LCM(264,688) = 181632 / 8
LCM(264,688) = 22704
