Lets's calculate LCM of 848,1728
2 | 848, 1728 |
2 | 424, 864 |
2 | 212, 432 |
2 | 106, 216 |
53, 108 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 53 x 108 = 91584
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/91584
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7120/848,3268/1728 is 4/91584
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 848,1728 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(848,1728) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(848,1728) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(848,1728) = ( 848 × 1728 ) / 16
LCM(848,1728) = 1465344 / 16
LCM(848,1728) = 91584
