Lets's calculate LCM of 16,8834
2 | 16, 8834 |
8, 4417 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 8 x 4417 = 70672
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/70672
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 290/16,276/8834 is 2/70672
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 16,8834 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,8834) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,8834) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(16,8834) = ( 16 × 8834 ) / 2
LCM(16,8834) = 141344 / 2
LCM(16,8834) = 70672
