Lets's calculate LCM of 196,880
2 | 196, 880 |
2 | 98, 440 |
49, 220 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 49 x 220 = 43120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/43120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 348/196,394/880 is 2/43120
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 196,880 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(196,880) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(196,880) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(196,880) = ( 196 × 880 ) / 4
LCM(196,880) = 172480 / 4
LCM(196,880) = 43120
