Lets's calculate LCM of 352,9596
2 | 352, 9596 |
2 | 176, 4798 |
88, 2399 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 88 x 2399 = 844448
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 80/844448
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8240/352,1520/9596 is 80/844448
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 352,9596 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(352,9596) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(352,9596) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(352,9596) = ( 352 × 9596 ) / 4
LCM(352,9596) = 3377792 / 4
LCM(352,9596) = 844448
