Lets's calculate LCM of 66,1616
2 | 66, 1616 |
33, 808 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 33 x 808 = 53328
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/53328
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 298/66,574/1616 is 2/53328
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 66,1616 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(66,1616) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(66,1616) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(66,1616) = ( 66 × 1616 ) / 2
LCM(66,1616) = 106656 / 2
LCM(66,1616) = 53328
