Lets's calculate LCM of 134,724
2 | 134, 724 |
67, 362 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 67 x 362 = 48508
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/48508
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 322/134,6837/724 is 1/48508
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 134,724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(134,724) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(134,724) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(134,724) = ( 134 × 724 ) / 2
LCM(134,724) = 97016 / 2
LCM(134,724) = 48508
