Lets's calculate LCM of 528,728
2 | 528, 728 |
2 | 264, 364 |
2 | 132, 182 |
66, 91 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 66 x 91 = 48048
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 294/48048
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 294/528,882/728 is 294/48048
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 528,728 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(528,728) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(528,728) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(528,728) = ( 528 × 728 ) / 8
LCM(528,728) = 384384 / 8
LCM(528,728) = 48048
