So the greatest common factor 535,976 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 956,718
2 | 956, 718 |
478, 359 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 478 x 359 = 343204
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/343204
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 535/956,976/718 is 1/343204
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 956,718 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(956,718) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(956,718) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(956,718) = ( 956 × 718 ) / 2
LCM(956,718) = 686408 / 2
LCM(956,718) = 343204
