Lets's calculate LCM of 262,812
2 | 262, 812 |
131, 406 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 131 x 406 = 106372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/106372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 516/262,6801/812 is 3/106372
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 262,812 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(262,812) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(262,812) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(262,812) = ( 262 × 812 ) / 2
LCM(262,812) = 212744 / 2
LCM(262,812) = 106372
