Lets's calculate LCM of 684,1288
2 | 684, 1288 |
2 | 342, 644 |
171, 322 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 171 x 322 = 220248
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/220248
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7962/684,3591/1288 is 3/220248
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 684,1288 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(684,1288) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(684,1288) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(684,1288) = ( 684 × 1288 ) / 4
LCM(684,1288) = 880992 / 4
LCM(684,1288) = 220248
