Lets's calculate LCM of 906,754
2 | 906, 754 |
453, 377 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 453 x 377 = 341562
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/341562
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5356/906,1550/754 is 2/341562
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 906,754 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(906,754) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(906,754) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(906,754) = ( 906 × 754 ) / 2
LCM(906,754) = 683124 / 2
LCM(906,754) = 341562
