So the greatest common factor 492,408 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 354,192
2 | 354, 192 |
3 | 177, 96 |
59, 32 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 59 x 32 = 11328
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/11328
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 492/354,408/192 is 12/11328
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 354,192 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(354,192) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(354,192) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(354,192) = ( 354 × 192 ) / 6
LCM(354,192) = 67968 / 6
LCM(354,192) = 11328
