Lets's calculate LCM of 758,448
2 | 758, 448 |
379, 224 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 379 x 224 = 169792
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/169792
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2896/758,3098/448 is 2/169792
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 758,448 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(758,448) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(758,448) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(758,448) = ( 758 × 448 ) / 2
LCM(758,448) = 339584 / 2
LCM(758,448) = 169792
