Lets's calculate LCM of 896,896
2 | 896, 896 |
2 | 448, 448 |
2 | 224, 224 |
2 | 112, 112 |
2 | 56, 56 |
2 | 28, 28 |
2 | 14, 14 |
7 | 7, 7 |
1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 1 x 1 = 896
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/896
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 161/896,912/896 is 1/896
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 896,896 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(896,896) = 896
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(896,896) x common factors =896 x 1 = 896
LCM(896,896) = ( 896 × 896 ) / 896
LCM(896,896) = 802816 / 896
LCM(896,896) = 896
