3 | 600, 1737 |
200, 579 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 200 x 579 = 347400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/347400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 262/600,3592/1737 is 2/347400
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 600,1737 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(600,1737) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(600,1737) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(600,1737) = ( 600 × 1737 ) / 3
LCM(600,1737) = 1042200 / 3
LCM(600,1737) = 347400
