Lets's calculate LCM of 292,266
2 | 292, 266 |
146, 133 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 146 x 133 = 38836
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/38836
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 648/292,8720/266 is 8/38836
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 292,266 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(292,266) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(292,266) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(292,266) = ( 292 × 266 ) / 2
LCM(292,266) = 77672 / 2
LCM(292,266) = 38836
