Lets's calculate LCM of 160,724
2 | 160, 724 |
2 | 80, 362 |
40, 181 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 40 x 181 = 28960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/28960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 465/160,578/724 is 1/28960
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 160,724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(160,724) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(160,724) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(160,724) = ( 160 × 724 ) / 4
LCM(160,724) = 115840 / 4
LCM(160,724) = 28960
