Lets's calculate LCM of 159,3816
3 | 159, 3816 |
53 | 53, 1272 |
1, 24 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 53 x 1 x 24 = 3816
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/3816
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2509/159,7254/3816 is 13/3816
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 159,3816 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,3816) = 159
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(159,3816) x common factors =159 x 1 = 159
LCM(159,3816) = ( 159 × 3816 ) / 159
LCM(159,3816) = 606744 / 159
LCM(159,3816) = 3816
