So the greatest common factor 351,855 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 394,322
2 | 394, 322 |
197, 161 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 197 x 161 = 63434
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/63434
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 351/394,855/322 is 9/63434
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 394,322 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(394,322) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(394,322) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(394,322) = ( 394 × 322 ) / 2
LCM(394,322) = 126868 / 2
LCM(394,322) = 63434
