Lets's calculate LCM of 247,872
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 215384
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/215384
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5589/247,8331/872 is 3/215384
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 247,872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(247,872) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(247,872) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(247,872) = ( 247 × 872 ) / 1
LCM(247,872) = 215384 / 1
LCM(247,872) = 215384
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
