So the greatest common factor 312,744 is 24.
Lets's calculate LCM of 128,594
2 | 128, 594 |
64, 297 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 64 x 297 = 38016
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 24/38016
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 312/128,744/594 is 24/38016
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 128,594 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(128,594) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(128,594) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(128,594) = ( 128 × 594 ) / 2
LCM(128,594) = 76032 / 2
LCM(128,594) = 38016
