Lets's calculate LCM of 345,634
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 218730
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 51/218730
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 255/345,7752/634 is 51/218730
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 345,634 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(345,634) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(345,634) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(345,634) = ( 345 × 634 ) / 1
LCM(345,634) = 218730 / 1
LCM(345,634) = 218730
