Lets's calculate LCM of 538,869
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 467522
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/467522
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 656/538,8804/869 is 4/467522
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 538,869 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(538,869) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(538,869) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(538,869) = ( 538 × 869 ) / 1
LCM(538,869) = 467522 / 1
LCM(538,869) = 467522
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
