So the greatest common factor 3258,7296 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 62,112
2 | 62, 112 |
31, 56 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 31 x 56 = 3472
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/3472
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3258/62,7296/112 is 6/3472
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 62,112 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(62,112) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(62,112) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(62,112) = ( 62 × 112 ) / 2
LCM(62,112) = 6944 / 2
LCM(62,112) = 3472
