So the greatest common factor 648,468 is 36.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,8672
2 | 48, 8672 |
2 | 24, 4336 |
2 | 12, 2168 |
2 | 6, 1084 |
3, 542 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 542 = 26016
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 36/26016
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 648/48,468/8672 is 36/26016
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 48,8672 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,8672) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,8672) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(48,8672) = ( 48 × 8672 ) / 16
LCM(48,8672) = 416256 / 16
LCM(48,8672) = 26016
