We found the factors 714,792 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 714,792 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 896,308
2 | 896, 308 |
2 | 448, 154 |
7 | 224, 77 |
32, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 x 32 x 11 = 9856
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/9856
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 714/896,792/308 is 6/9856
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 896,308 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(896,308) = 28
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(896,308) x common factors =28 x 1 = 28
LCM(896,308) = ( 896 × 308 ) / 28
LCM(896,308) = 275968 / 28
LCM(896,308) = 9856
