So the greatest common factor 731,446 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 280,416
2 | 280, 416 |
2 | 140, 208 |
2 | 70, 104 |
35, 52 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 35 x 52 = 14560
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/14560
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 731/280,446/416 is 1/14560
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 280,416 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(280,416) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(280,416) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(280,416) = ( 280 × 416 ) / 8
LCM(280,416) = 116480 / 8
LCM(280,416) = 14560
