Lets's calculate LCM of 872,1168
2 | 872, 1168 |
2 | 436, 584 |
2 | 218, 292 |
109, 146 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 109 x 146 = 127312
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/127312
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4462/872,1965/1168 is 1/127312
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 872,1168 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(872,1168) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(872,1168) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(872,1168) = ( 872 × 1168 ) / 8
LCM(872,1168) = 1018496 / 8
LCM(872,1168) = 127312
