We found the factors 416,8560 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 416,8560 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 272,362
2 | 272, 362 |
136, 181 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 136 x 181 = 49232
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/49232
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 416/272,8560/362 is 16/49232
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 272,362 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(272,362) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(272,362) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(272,362) = ( 272 × 362 ) / 2
LCM(272,362) = 98464 / 2
LCM(272,362) = 49232
