So the greatest common factor 354,156 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 278,124
2 | 278, 124 |
139, 62 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 139 x 62 = 17236
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/17236
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 354/278,156/124 is 6/17236
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 278,124 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(278,124) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(278,124) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(278,124) = ( 278 × 124 ) / 2
LCM(278,124) = 34472 / 2
LCM(278,124) = 17236
