Lets's calculate LCM of 872,672
2 | 872, 672 |
2 | 436, 336 |
2 | 218, 168 |
109, 84 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 109 x 84 = 73248
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/73248
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7990/872,2800/672 is 10/73248
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 872,672 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(872,672) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(872,672) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(872,672) = ( 872 × 672 ) / 8
LCM(872,672) = 585984 / 8
LCM(872,672) = 73248
