Lets's calculate LCM of 898,7072
2 | 898, 7072 |
449, 3536 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 449 x 3536 = 3175328
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/3175328
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6928/898,2320/7072 is 16/3175328
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 898,7072 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(898,7072) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(898,7072) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(898,7072) = ( 898 × 7072 ) / 2
LCM(898,7072) = 6350656 / 2
LCM(898,7072) = 3175328
