Lets's calculate LCM of 336,4064
2 | 336, 4064 |
2 | 168, 2032 |
2 | 84, 1016 |
2 | 42, 508 |
21, 254 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 21 x 254 = 85344
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/85344
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3548/336,1712/4064 is 4/85344
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 336,4064 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(336,4064) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(336,4064) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(336,4064) = ( 336 × 4064 ) / 16
LCM(336,4064) = 1365504 / 16
LCM(336,4064) = 85344
