Lets's calculate LCM of 334,900
2 | 334, 900 |
167, 450 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 167 x 450 = 150300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/150300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5230/334,4338/900 is 2/150300
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 334,900 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(334,900) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(334,900) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(334,900) = ( 334 × 900 ) / 2
LCM(334,900) = 300600 / 2
LCM(334,900) = 150300
