Lets's calculate LCM of 648,2992
2 | 648, 2992 |
2 | 324, 1496 |
2 | 162, 748 |
81, 374 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 81 x 374 = 242352
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 53/242352
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3286/648,7049/2992 is 53/242352
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 648,2992 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(648,2992) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(648,2992) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(648,2992) = ( 648 × 2992 ) / 8
LCM(648,2992) = 1938816 / 8
LCM(648,2992) = 242352
