Lets's calculate LCM of 798,320
2 | 798, 320 |
399, 160 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 399 x 160 = 127680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 72/127680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 504/798,1296/320 is 72/127680
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 798,320 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(798,320) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(798,320) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(798,320) = ( 798 × 320 ) / 2
LCM(798,320) = 255360 / 2
LCM(798,320) = 127680
