Lets's calculate LCM of 256,668
2 | 256, 668 |
2 | 128, 334 |
64, 167 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 64 x 167 = 42752
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/42752
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 154/256,287/668 is 7/42752
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 256,668 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(256,668) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(256,668) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(256,668) = ( 256 × 668 ) / 4
LCM(256,668) = 171008 / 4
LCM(256,668) = 42752
