Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 248,240 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 248,240 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,6468
2 | 48, 6468 |
2 | 24, 3234 |
3 | 12, 1617 |
4, 539 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 539 = 25872
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/25872
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 248/48,240/6468 is 8/25872
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 48,6468 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,6468) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,6468) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(48,6468) = ( 48 × 6468 ) / 12
LCM(48,6468) = 310464 / 12
LCM(48,6468) = 25872
