2 | 328, 3848 |
2 | 164, 1924 |
2 | 82, 962 |
41, 481 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 41 x 481 = 157768
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/157768
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4912/328,4042/3848 is 2/157768
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 328,3848 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(328,3848) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(328,3848) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(328,3848) = ( 328 × 3848 ) / 8
LCM(328,3848) = 1262144 / 8
LCM(328,3848) = 157768
