Lets's calculate LCM of 404,4032
2 | 404, 4032 |
2 | 202, 2016 |
101, 1008 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 101 x 1008 = 407232
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/407232
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1048/404,7214/4032 is 2/407232
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 404,4032 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(404,4032) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(404,4032) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(404,4032) = ( 404 × 4032 ) / 4
LCM(404,4032) = 1628928 / 4
LCM(404,4032) = 407232
