So the greatest common factor 716,698 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,3472
2 | 32, 3472 |
2 | 16, 1736 |
2 | 8, 868 |
2 | 4, 434 |
2, 217 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 217 = 6944
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6944
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 716/32,698/3472 is 2/6944
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 32,3472 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,3472) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,3472) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(32,3472) = ( 32 × 3472 ) / 16
LCM(32,3472) = 111104 / 16
LCM(32,3472) = 6944
