So the greatest common factor 758,256 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,4176
2 | 48, 4176 |
2 | 24, 2088 |
2 | 12, 1044 |
2 | 6, 522 |
3 | 3, 261 |
1, 87 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 x 87 = 4176
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4176
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 758/48,256/4176 is 2/4176
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 48,4176 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,4176) = 48
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,4176) x common factors =48 x 1 = 48
LCM(48,4176) = ( 48 × 4176 ) / 48
LCM(48,4176) = 200448 / 48
LCM(48,4176) = 4176
