Lets's calculate LCM of 702,918
2 | 702, 918 |
3 | 351, 459 |
3 | 117, 153 |
3 | 39, 51 |
13, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 13 x 17 = 11934
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/11934
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 526/702,2582/918 is 2/11934
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 702,918 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(702,918) = 54
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(702,918) x common factors =54 x 1 = 54
LCM(702,918) = ( 702 × 918 ) / 54
LCM(702,918) = 644436 / 54
LCM(702,918) = 11934
