So the greatest common factor 128,384 is 128.
Lets's calculate LCM of 794,896
2 | 794, 896 |
397, 448 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 397 x 448 = 355712
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 128/355712
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 128/794,384/896 is 128/355712
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 794,896 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(794,896) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(794,896) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(794,896) = ( 794 × 896 ) / 2
LCM(794,896) = 711424 / 2
LCM(794,896) = 355712
