So the greatest common factor 3116,3498 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 56,296
2 | 56, 296 |
2 | 28, 148 |
2 | 14, 74 |
7, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 37 = 2072
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2072
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3116/56,3498/296 is 2/2072
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 56,296 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(56,296) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(56,296) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(56,296) = ( 56 × 296 ) / 8
LCM(56,296) = 16576 / 8
LCM(56,296) = 2072
