Lets's calculate LCM of 347,5984
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2076448
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/2076448
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/347,5440/5984 is 16/2076448
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 347,5984 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(347,5984) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(347,5984) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(347,5984) = ( 347 × 5984 ) / 1
LCM(347,5984) = 2076448 / 1
LCM(347,5984) = 2076448
