Lets's calculate LCM of 296,6896
2 | 296, 6896 |
2 | 148, 3448 |
2 | 74, 1724 |
37, 862 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 37 x 862 = 255152
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/255152
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8772/296,4408/6896 is 4/255152
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 296,6896 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(296,6896) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(296,6896) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(296,6896) = ( 296 × 6896 ) / 8
LCM(296,6896) = 2041216 / 8
LCM(296,6896) = 255152
