2 | 338, 2304 |
169, 1152 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 169 x 1152 = 389376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/389376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5608/338,1331/2304 is 1/389376
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 338,2304 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(338,2304) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(338,2304) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(338,2304) = ( 338 × 2304 ) / 2
LCM(338,2304) = 778752 / 2
LCM(338,2304) = 389376
