Lets's calculate LCM of 424,348
2 | 424, 348 |
2 | 212, 174 |
106, 87 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 106 x 87 = 36888
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/36888
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 120/424,582/348 is 6/36888
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 424,348 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(424,348) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(424,348) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(424,348) = ( 424 × 348 ) / 4
LCM(424,348) = 147552 / 4
LCM(424,348) = 36888
