So the greatest common factor 8901,7032 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 664,424
2 | 664, 424 |
2 | 332, 212 |
2 | 166, 106 |
83, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 83 x 53 = 35192
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/35192
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8901/664,7032/424 is 3/35192
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 664,424 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(664,424) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(664,424) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(664,424) = ( 664 × 424 ) / 8
LCM(664,424) = 281536 / 8
LCM(664,424) = 35192
