We found the factors 3216,2230 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3216,2230 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 335,320
5 | 335, 320 |
67, 64 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 67 x 64 = 21440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/21440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3216/335,2230/320 is 2/21440
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 335,320 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(335,320) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(335,320) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(335,320) = ( 335 × 320 ) / 5
LCM(335,320) = 107200 / 5
LCM(335,320) = 21440
