So the greatest common factor 674,992 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 240,272
2 | 240, 272 |
2 | 120, 136 |
2 | 60, 68 |
2 | 30, 34 |
15, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 15 x 17 = 4080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 674/240,992/272 is 2/4080
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 240,272 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(240,272) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(240,272) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(240,272) = ( 240 × 272 ) / 16
LCM(240,272) = 65280 / 16
LCM(240,272) = 4080
