Lets's calculate LCM of 356,406
2 | 356, 406 |
178, 203 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 178 x 203 = 72268
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/72268
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2730/356,2487/406 is 3/72268
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 356,406 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(356,406) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(356,406) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(356,406) = ( 356 × 406 ) / 2
LCM(356,406) = 144536 / 2
LCM(356,406) = 72268
