Lets's calculate LCM of 144,3072
2 | 144, 3072 |
2 | 72, 1536 |
2 | 36, 768 |
2 | 18, 384 |
3 | 9, 192 |
3, 64 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 64 = 9216
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/9216
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 204/144,9836/3072 is 4/9216
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 144,3072 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(144,3072) = 48
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(144,3072) x common factors =48 x 1 = 48
LCM(144,3072) = ( 144 × 3072 ) / 48
LCM(144,3072) = 442368 / 48
LCM(144,3072) = 9216
