So the greatest common factor 210,430 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,256
2 | 16, 256 |
2 | 8, 128 |
2 | 4, 64 |
2 | 2, 32 |
1, 16 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 1 x 16 = 256
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/256
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 210/16,430/256 is 10/256
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 16,256 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,256) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,256) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(16,256) = ( 16 × 256 ) / 16
LCM(16,256) = 4096 / 16
LCM(16,256) = 256
