Lets's calculate LCM of 66,268
2 | 66, 268 |
33, 134 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 33 x 134 = 8844
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/8844
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1896/66,5637/268 is 3/8844
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 66,268 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(66,268) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(66,268) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(66,268) = ( 66 × 268 ) / 2
LCM(66,268) = 17688 / 2
LCM(66,268) = 8844
