Lets's calculate LCM of 656,128
2 | 656, 128 |
2 | 328, 64 |
2 | 164, 32 |
2 | 82, 16 |
41, 8 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 41 x 8 = 5248
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 447/5248
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 447/656,894/128 is 447/5248
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 656,128 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(656,128) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(656,128) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(656,128) = ( 656 × 128 ) / 16
LCM(656,128) = 83968 / 16
LCM(656,128) = 5248
