2 | 256, 5784 |
2 | 128, 2892 |
2 | 64, 1446 |
32, 723 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 32 x 723 = 185088
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/185088
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1947/256,4800/5784 is 3/185088
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 256,5784 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(256,5784) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(256,5784) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(256,5784) = ( 256 × 5784 ) / 8
LCM(256,5784) = 1480704 / 8
LCM(256,5784) = 185088
