So the greatest common factor 724,411 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 888,296
2 | 888, 296 |
2 | 444, 148 |
2 | 222, 74 |
37 | 111, 37 |
3, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 37 x 3 x 1 = 888
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/888
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 724/888,411/296 is 1/888
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 888,296 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(888,296) = 296
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(888,296) x common factors =296 x 1 = 296
LCM(888,296) = ( 888 × 296 ) / 296
LCM(888,296) = 262848 / 296
LCM(888,296) = 888
