Lets's calculate LCM of 259,9016
7 | 259, 9016 |
37, 1288 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 37 x 1288 = 333592
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/333592
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6246/259,2640/9016 is 6/333592
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 259,9016 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(259,9016) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(259,9016) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(259,9016) = ( 259 × 9016 ) / 7
LCM(259,9016) = 2335144 / 7
LCM(259,9016) = 333592
