2 | 440, 8168 |
2 | 220, 4084 |
2 | 110, 2042 |
55, 1021 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 55 x 1021 = 449240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/449240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8635/440,3608/8168 is 11/449240
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 440,8168 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(440,8168) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(440,8168) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(440,8168) = ( 440 × 8168 ) / 8
LCM(440,8168) = 3593920 / 8
LCM(440,8168) = 449240
