Lets's calculate LCM of 372,511
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 190092
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/190092
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5238/372,4694/511 is 2/190092
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 372,511 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(372,511) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(372,511) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(372,511) = ( 372 × 511 ) / 1
LCM(372,511) = 190092 / 1
LCM(372,511) = 190092
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
