Lets's calculate LCM of 528,9384
2 | 528, 9384 |
2 | 264, 4692 |
2 | 132, 2346 |
3 | 66, 1173 |
22, 391 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 22 x 391 = 206448
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/206448
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7236/528,8727/9384 is 3/206448
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 528,9384 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(528,9384) = 24
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(528,9384) x common factors =24 x 1 = 24
LCM(528,9384) = ( 528 × 9384 ) / 24
LCM(528,9384) = 4954752 / 24
LCM(528,9384) = 206448
