Lets's calculate LCM of 296,2888
2 | 296, 2888 |
2 | 148, 1444 |
2 | 74, 722 |
37, 361 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 37 x 361 = 106856
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/106856
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6603/296,1160/2888 is 1/106856
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 296,2888 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(296,2888) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(296,2888) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(296,2888) = ( 296 × 2888 ) / 8
LCM(296,2888) = 854848 / 8
LCM(296,2888) = 106856
