Lets's calculate LCM of 448,624
2 | 448, 624 |
2 | 224, 312 |
2 | 112, 156 |
2 | 56, 78 |
28, 39 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 28 x 39 = 17472
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 26/17472
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1742/448,6240/624 is 26/17472
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 448,624 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(448,624) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(448,624) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(448,624) = ( 448 × 624 ) / 16
LCM(448,624) = 279552 / 16
LCM(448,624) = 17472
