So the greatest common factor 401,874 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 618,369
3 | 618, 369 |
206, 123 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 206 x 123 = 76014
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/76014
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 401/618,874/369 is 1/76014
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 618,369 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(618,369) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(618,369) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(618,369) = ( 618 × 369 ) / 3
LCM(618,369) = 228042 / 3
LCM(618,369) = 76014
