Lets's calculate LCM of 596,346
2 | 596, 346 |
298, 173 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 298 x 173 = 103108
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/103108
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1980/596,4347/346 is 9/103108
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 596,346 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(596,346) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(596,346) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(596,346) = ( 596 × 346 ) / 2
LCM(596,346) = 206216 / 2
LCM(596,346) = 103108
