Lets's calculate LCM of 304,2048
2 | 304, 2048 |
2 | 152, 1024 |
2 | 76, 512 |
2 | 38, 256 |
19, 128 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 19 x 128 = 38912
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/38912
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2914/304,4470/2048 is 2/38912
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 304,2048 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(304,2048) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(304,2048) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(304,2048) = ( 304 × 2048 ) / 16
LCM(304,2048) = 622592 / 16
LCM(304,2048) = 38912
