Lets's calculate LCM of 339,3996
3 | 339, 3996 |
113, 1332 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 113 x 1332 = 451548
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/451548
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6704/339,4656/3996 is 16/451548
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 339,3996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(339,3996) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(339,3996) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(339,3996) = ( 339 × 3996 ) / 3
LCM(339,3996) = 1354644 / 3
LCM(339,3996) = 451548
