Lets's calculate LCM of 32,296
2 | 32, 296 |
2 | 16, 148 |
2 | 8, 74 |
4, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 4 x 37 = 1184
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/1184
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 869/32,308/296 is 11/1184
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 32,296 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,296) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,296) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(32,296) = ( 32 × 296 ) / 8
LCM(32,296) = 9472 / 8
LCM(32,296) = 1184
