Lets's calculate LCM of 216,1728
2 | 216, 1728 |
2 | 108, 864 |
2 | 54, 432 |
3 | 27, 216 |
3 | 9, 72 |
3 | 3, 24 |
1, 8 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 1 x 8 = 1728
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/1728
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1584/216,8120/1728 is 8/1728
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 216,1728 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(216,1728) = 216
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(216,1728) x common factors =216 x 1 = 216
LCM(216,1728) = ( 216 × 1728 ) / 216
LCM(216,1728) = 373248 / 216
LCM(216,1728) = 1728
