So the greatest common factor 348,120 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 942,688
2 | 942, 688 |
471, 344 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 471 x 344 = 324048
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/324048
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 348/942,120/688 is 12/324048
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 942,688 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(942,688) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(942,688) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(942,688) = ( 942 × 688 ) / 2
LCM(942,688) = 648096 / 2
LCM(942,688) = 324048
