So the greatest common factor 9558,9346 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 320,1968
2 | 320, 1968 |
2 | 160, 984 |
2 | 80, 492 |
2 | 40, 246 |
20, 123 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 20 x 123 = 39360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/39360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9558/320,9346/1968 is 2/39360
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 320,1968 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(320,1968) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(320,1968) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(320,1968) = ( 320 × 1968 ) / 16
LCM(320,1968) = 629760 / 16
LCM(320,1968) = 39360
