Lets's calculate LCM of 358,1448
2 | 358, 1448 |
179, 724 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 179 x 724 = 259192
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/259192
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4048/358,5528/1448 is 8/259192
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 358,1448 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(358,1448) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(358,1448) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(358,1448) = ( 358 × 1448 ) / 2
LCM(358,1448) = 518384 / 2
LCM(358,1448) = 259192
