Lets's calculate LCM of 676,742
2 | 676, 742 |
338, 371 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 338 x 371 = 250796
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/250796
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 544/676,843/742 is 1/250796
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 676,742 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(676,742) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(676,742) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(676,742) = ( 676 × 742 ) / 2
LCM(676,742) = 501592 / 2
LCM(676,742) = 250796
