So the greatest common factor 296,448 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 33,5359
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 176847
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/176847
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 296/33,448/5359 is 8/176847
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 33,5359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(33,5359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(33,5359) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(33,5359) = ( 33 × 5359 ) / 1
LCM(33,5359) = 176847 / 1
LCM(33,5359) = 176847
