So the greatest common factor 170,336 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 418,648
2 | 418, 648 |
209, 324 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 209 x 324 = 135432
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/135432
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 170/418,336/648 is 2/135432
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 418,648 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(418,648) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(418,648) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(418,648) = ( 418 × 648 ) / 2
LCM(418,648) = 270864 / 2
LCM(418,648) = 135432
