Lets's calculate LCM of 832,732
2 | 832, 732 |
2 | 416, 366 |
208, 183 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 208 x 183 = 152256
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/152256
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2008/832,3454/732 is 2/152256
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 832,732 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(832,732) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(832,732) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(832,732) = ( 832 × 732 ) / 4
LCM(832,732) = 609024 / 4
LCM(832,732) = 152256
