Lets's calculate LCM of 16,3493
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 55888
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/55888
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 716/16,285/3493 is 1/55888
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 16,3493 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,3493) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,3493) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(16,3493) = ( 16 × 3493 ) / 1
LCM(16,3493) = 55888 / 1
LCM(16,3493) = 55888
