So the greatest common factor 5474,8588 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 314,342
2 | 314, 342 |
157, 171 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 157 x 171 = 53694
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/53694
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5474/314,8588/342 is 2/53694
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 314,342 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(314,342) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(314,342) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(314,342) = ( 314 × 342 ) / 2
LCM(314,342) = 107388 / 2
LCM(314,342) = 53694
