So the greatest common factor 672,140 is 28.
Lets's calculate LCM of 712,544
2 | 712, 544 |
2 | 356, 272 |
2 | 178, 136 |
89, 68 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 89 x 68 = 48416
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 28/48416
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 672/712,140/544 is 28/48416
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 712,544 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(712,544) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(712,544) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(712,544) = ( 712 × 544 ) / 8
LCM(712,544) = 387328 / 8
LCM(712,544) = 48416
