So the greatest common factor 437,920 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 354,714
2 | 354, 714 |
3 | 177, 357 |
59, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 59 x 119 = 42126
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/42126
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 437/354,920/714 is 23/42126
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 354,714 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(354,714) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(354,714) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(354,714) = ( 354 × 714 ) / 6
LCM(354,714) = 252756 / 6
LCM(354,714) = 42126
