So the greatest common factor 381,696 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,544
2 | 42, 544 |
21, 272 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 21 x 272 = 11424
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/11424
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 381/42,696/544 is 3/11424
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 42,544 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,544) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,544) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(42,544) = ( 42 × 544 ) / 2
LCM(42,544) = 22848 / 2
LCM(42,544) = 11424
