Lets's calculate LCM of 650,942
2 | 650, 942 |
325, 471 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 325 x 471 = 306150
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/306150
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 468/650,5340/942 is 12/306150
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 650,942 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(650,942) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(650,942) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(650,942) = ( 650 × 942 ) / 2
LCM(650,942) = 612300 / 2
LCM(650,942) = 306150
