Lets's calculate LCM of 826,331
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 273406
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/273406
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1534/826,2952/331 is 2/273406
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 826,331 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(826,331) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(826,331) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(826,331) = ( 826 × 331 ) / 1
LCM(826,331) = 273406 / 1
LCM(826,331) = 273406
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
