So the greatest common factor 1176,3304 is 56.
Lets's calculate LCM of 416,802
2 | 416, 802 |
208, 401 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 208 x 401 = 166816
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 56/166816
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1176/416,3304/802 is 56/166816
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 416,802 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(416,802) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(416,802) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(416,802) = ( 416 × 802 ) / 2
LCM(416,802) = 333632 / 2
LCM(416,802) = 166816
