Lets's calculate LCM of 712,160
2 | 712, 160 |
2 | 356, 80 |
2 | 178, 40 |
89, 20 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 89 x 20 = 14240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/14240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4844/712,6984/160 is 4/14240
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 712,160 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(712,160) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(712,160) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(712,160) = ( 712 × 160 ) / 8
LCM(712,160) = 113920 / 8
LCM(712,160) = 14240
