Lets's calculate LCM of 332,896
2 | 332, 896 |
2 | 166, 448 |
83, 224 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 83 x 224 = 74368
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/74368
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5367/332,3291/896 is 3/74368
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 332,896 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(332,896) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(332,896) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(332,896) = ( 332 × 896 ) / 4
LCM(332,896) = 297472 / 4
LCM(332,896) = 74368
