Lets's calculate LCM of 744,8711
31 | 744, 8711 |
24, 281 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 31 x 24 x 281 = 209064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/209064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2552/744,2672/8711 is 8/209064
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 744,8711 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(744,8711) = 31
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(744,8711) x common factors =31 x 1 = 31
LCM(744,8711) = ( 744 × 8711 ) / 31
LCM(744,8711) = 6480984 / 31
LCM(744,8711) = 209064
