Lets's calculate LCM of 711,216
3 | 711, 216 |
3 | 237, 72 |
79, 24 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 79 x 24 = 17064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/17064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7976/711,5662/216 is 2/17064
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 711,216 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(711,216) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(711,216) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(711,216) = ( 711 × 216 ) / 9
LCM(711,216) = 153576 / 9
LCM(711,216) = 17064
