Lets's calculate LCM of 704,480
2 | 704, 480 |
2 | 352, 240 |
2 | 176, 120 |
2 | 88, 60 |
2 | 44, 30 |
22, 15 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 22 x 15 = 10560
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/10560
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7241/704,8770/480 is 1/10560
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 704,480 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(704,480) = 32
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(704,480) x common factors =32 x 1 = 32
LCM(704,480) = ( 704 × 480 ) / 32
LCM(704,480) = 337920 / 32
LCM(704,480) = 10560
