So the greatest common factor 378,352 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 312,170
2 | 312, 170 |
156, 85 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 156 x 85 = 26520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/26520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 378/312,352/170 is 2/26520
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 312,170 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(312,170) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(312,170) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(312,170) = ( 312 × 170 ) / 2
LCM(312,170) = 53040 / 2
LCM(312,170) = 26520
