Lets's calculate LCM of 537,882
3 | 537, 882 |
179, 294 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 179 x 294 = 157878
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/157878
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2768/537,2682/882 is 2/157878
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 537,882 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(537,882) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(537,882) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(537,882) = ( 537 × 882 ) / 3
LCM(537,882) = 473634 / 3
LCM(537,882) = 157878
