Lets's calculate LCM of 240,537
3 | 240, 537 |
80, 179 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 80 x 179 = 42960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/42960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7486/240,5216/537 is 2/42960
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 240,537 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(240,537) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(240,537) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(240,537) = ( 240 × 537 ) / 3
LCM(240,537) = 128880 / 3
LCM(240,537) = 42960
