Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 688,4410 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 688,4410 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 320,576
2 | 320, 576 |
2 | 160, 288 |
2 | 80, 144 |
2 | 40, 72 |
2 | 20, 36 |
2 | 10, 18 |
5, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 9 = 2880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 688/320,4410/576 is 2/2880
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 320,576 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(320,576) = 64
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(320,576) x common factors =64 x 1 = 64
LCM(320,576) = ( 320 × 576 ) / 64
LCM(320,576) = 184320 / 64
LCM(320,576) = 2880
