Lets's calculate LCM of 352,686
2 | 352, 686 |
176, 343 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 176 x 343 = 120736
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/120736
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 503/352,336/686 is 1/120736
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 352,686 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(352,686) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(352,686) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(352,686) = ( 352 × 686 ) / 2
LCM(352,686) = 241472 / 2
LCM(352,686) = 120736
