So the greatest common factor 555,370 is 185.
Lets's calculate LCM of 434,756
2 | 434, 756 |
7 | 217, 378 |
31, 54 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 31 x 54 = 23436
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 185/23436
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 555/434,370/756 is 185/23436
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 434,756 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(434,756) = 14
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(434,756) x common factors =14 x 1 = 14
LCM(434,756) = ( 434 × 756 ) / 14
LCM(434,756) = 328104 / 14
LCM(434,756) = 23436
