Lets's calculate LCM of 340,578
2 | 340, 578 |
17 | 170, 289 |
10, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 10 x 17 = 5780
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5780
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5476/340,6539/578 is 1/5780
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 340,578 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(340,578) = 34
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(340,578) x common factors =34 x 1 = 34
LCM(340,578) = ( 340 × 578 ) / 34
LCM(340,578) = 196520 / 34
LCM(340,578) = 5780
