Lets's calculate LCM of 896,768
2 | 896, 768 |
2 | 448, 384 |
2 | 224, 192 |
2 | 112, 96 |
2 | 56, 48 |
2 | 28, 24 |
2 | 14, 12 |
7, 6 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 6 = 5376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 215/896,686/768 is 1/5376
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 896,768 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(896,768) = 128
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(896,768) x common factors =128 x 1 = 128
LCM(896,768) = ( 896 × 768 ) / 128
LCM(896,768) = 688128 / 128
LCM(896,768) = 5376
