Lets's calculate LCM of 896,604
2 | 896, 604 |
2 | 448, 302 |
224, 151 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 224 x 151 = 135296
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/135296
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 704/896,996/604 is 4/135296
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 896,604 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(896,604) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(896,604) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(896,604) = ( 896 × 604 ) / 4
LCM(896,604) = 541184 / 4
LCM(896,604) = 135296
