2 | 320, 3704 |
2 | 160, 1852 |
2 | 80, 926 |
40, 463 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 40 x 463 = 148160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/148160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3179/320,7769/3704 is 17/148160
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 320,3704 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(320,3704) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(320,3704) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(320,3704) = ( 320 × 3704 ) / 8
LCM(320,3704) = 1185280 / 8
LCM(320,3704) = 148160
