Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5616,8912 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5616,8912 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 721,248
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 178808
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/178808
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5616/721,8912/248 is 16/178808
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 721,248 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(721,248) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(721,248) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(721,248) = ( 721 × 248 ) / 1
LCM(721,248) = 178808 / 1
LCM(721,248) = 178808
