Lets's calculate LCM of 672,336
2 | 672, 336 |
2 | 336, 168 |
2 | 84, 168 |
2 | 42, 84 |
3 | 21, 42 |
7 | 7, 14 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 1 x 2 = 672
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/672
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 377/672,533/336 is 13/672
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 672,336 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(672,336) = 336
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(672,336) x common factors =336 x 1 = 336
LCM(672,336) = ( 672 × 336 ) / 336
LCM(672,336) = 225792 / 336
LCM(672,336) = 672
