Lets's calculate LCM of 501,872
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 436872
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/436872
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8124/501,3758/872 is 2/436872
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 501,872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(501,872) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(501,872) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(501,872) = ( 501 × 872 ) / 1
LCM(501,872) = 436872 / 1
LCM(501,872) = 436872
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
