So the greatest common factor 342,6580 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 456,750
2 | 456, 750 |
3 | 228, 375 |
76, 125 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 76 x 125 = 57000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/57000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 342/456,6580/750 is 2/57000
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 456,750 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(456,750) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(456,750) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(456,750) = ( 456 × 750 ) / 6
LCM(456,750) = 342000 / 6
LCM(456,750) = 57000
