Lets's calculate LCM of 421,8320
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3502720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/3502720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4304/421,7072/8320 is 16/3502720
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 421,8320 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(421,8320) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(421,8320) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(421,8320) = ( 421 × 8320 ) / 1
LCM(421,8320) = 3502720 / 1
LCM(421,8320) = 3502720
