Lets's calculate LCM of 514,674
2 | 514, 674 |
257, 337 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 257 x 337 = 173218
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/173218
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3678/514,5214/674 is 6/173218
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 514,674 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(514,674) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(514,674) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(514,674) = ( 514 × 674 ) / 2
LCM(514,674) = 346436 / 2
LCM(514,674) = 173218
