So the greatest common factor 318,777 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 126,704
2 | 126, 704 |
63, 352 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 63 x 352 = 44352
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/44352
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 318/126,777/704 is 3/44352
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 126,704 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(126,704) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(126,704) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(126,704) = ( 126 × 704 ) / 2
LCM(126,704) = 88704 / 2
LCM(126,704) = 44352
