Lets's calculate LCM of 372,916
2 | 372, 916 |
2 | 186, 458 |
93, 229 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 93 x 229 = 85188
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/85188
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3160/372,8398/916 is 2/85188
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 372,916 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(372,916) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(372,916) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(372,916) = ( 372 × 916 ) / 4
LCM(372,916) = 340752 / 4
LCM(372,916) = 85188
