Lets's calculate LCM of 346,3372
2 | 346, 3372 |
173, 1686 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 173 x 1686 = 583356
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/583356
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3458/346,5778/3372 is 2/583356
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 346,3372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(346,3372) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(346,3372) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(346,3372) = ( 346 × 3372 ) / 2
LCM(346,3372) = 1166712 / 2
LCM(346,3372) = 583356
