Lets's calculate LCM of 362,535
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 193670
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/193670
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8522/362,1256/535 is 2/193670
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 362,535 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(362,535) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(362,535) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(362,535) = ( 362 × 535 ) / 1
LCM(362,535) = 193670 / 1
LCM(362,535) = 193670
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
