So the greatest common factor 5341,7278 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 352,784
2 | 352, 784 |
2 | 176, 392 |
2 | 88, 196 |
2 | 44, 98 |
22, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 22 x 49 = 17248
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17248
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5341/352,7278/784 is 1/17248
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 352,784 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(352,784) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(352,784) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(352,784) = ( 352 × 784 ) / 16
LCM(352,784) = 275968 / 16
LCM(352,784) = 17248
