Lets's calculate LCM of 265,876
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 232140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/232140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 512/265,1738/876 is 2/232140
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 265,876 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(265,876) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(265,876) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(265,876) = ( 265 × 876 ) / 1
LCM(265,876) = 232140 / 1
LCM(265,876) = 232140
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
