Lets's calculate LCM of 336,2904
2 | 336, 2904 |
2 | 168, 1452 |
2 | 84, 726 |
3 | 42, 363 |
14, 121 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 14 x 121 = 40656
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 26/40656
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5226/336,2366/2904 is 26/40656
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 336,2904 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(336,2904) = 24
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(336,2904) x common factors =24 x 1 = 24
LCM(336,2904) = ( 336 × 2904 ) / 24
LCM(336,2904) = 975744 / 24
LCM(336,2904) = 40656
