Lets's calculate LCM of 711,948
3 | 711, 948 |
79 | 237, 316 |
3, 4 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 79 x 3 x 4 = 2844
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2844
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 566/711,656/948 is 2/2844
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 711,948 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(711,948) = 237
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(711,948) x common factors =237 x 1 = 237
LCM(711,948) = ( 711 × 948 ) / 237
LCM(711,948) = 674028 / 237
LCM(711,948) = 2844
