So the greatest common factor 2896,9952 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 849,390
3 | 849, 390 |
283, 130 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 283 x 130 = 110370
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/110370
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2896/849,9952/390 is 16/110370
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 849,390 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(849,390) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(849,390) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(849,390) = ( 849 × 390 ) / 3
LCM(849,390) = 331110 / 3
LCM(849,390) = 110370
