Lets's calculate LCM of 44,8952
2 | 44, 8952 |
2 | 22, 4476 |
11, 2238 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 11 x 2238 = 98472
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/98472
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 608/44,688/8952 is 16/98472
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 44,8952 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(44,8952) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(44,8952) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(44,8952) = ( 44 × 8952 ) / 4
LCM(44,8952) = 393888 / 4
LCM(44,8952) = 98472
