We found the factors 208,401 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 208,401 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 724,416
2 | 724, 416 |
2 | 362, 208 |
181, 104 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 181 x 104 = 75296
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/75296
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 208/724,401/416 is 1/75296
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 724,416 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(724,416) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(724,416) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(724,416) = ( 724 × 416 ) / 4
LCM(724,416) = 301184 / 4
LCM(724,416) = 75296
