Lets's calculate LCM of 96,656
2 | 96, 656 |
2 | 48, 328 |
2 | 24, 164 |
2 | 12, 82 |
6, 41 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 6 x 41 = 3936
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3936
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 706/96,4212/656 is 2/3936
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 96,656 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,656) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(96,656) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(96,656) = ( 96 × 656 ) / 16
LCM(96,656) = 62976 / 16
LCM(96,656) = 3936
