Lets's calculate LCM of 112,6720
2 | 112, 6720 |
2 | 56, 3360 |
2 | 28, 1680 |
2 | 14, 840 |
7 | 7, 420 |
1, 60 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 1 x 60 = 6720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9038/112,5556/6720 is 2/6720
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 112,6720 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(112,6720) = 112
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(112,6720) x common factors =112 x 1 = 112
LCM(112,6720) = ( 112 × 6720 ) / 112
LCM(112,6720) = 752640 / 112
LCM(112,6720) = 6720
