Lets's calculate LCM of 296,472
2 | 296, 472 |
2 | 148, 236 |
2 | 74, 118 |
37, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 37 x 59 = 17464
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17464
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 467/296,6696/472 is 1/17464
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 296,472 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(296,472) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(296,472) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(296,472) = ( 296 × 472 ) / 8
LCM(296,472) = 139712 / 8
LCM(296,472) = 17464
