2 | 288, 128 |
2 | 144, 64 |
2 | 72, 32 |
2 | 36, 16 |
2 | 18, 8 |
9, 4 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 9 x 4 = 2304
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2304
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5354/576,8586/256 is 2/2304
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 576,256 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(576,256) = 64
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(576,256) x common factors =64 x 1 = 64
LCM(576,256) = ( 576 × 256 ) / 64
LCM(576,256) = 147456 / 64
LCM(576,256) = 2304
