Lets's calculate LCM of 950,724
2 | 950, 724 |
475, 362 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 475 x 362 = 343900
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/343900
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5665/950,8852/724 is 1/343900
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 950,724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(950,724) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(950,724) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(950,724) = ( 950 × 724 ) / 2
LCM(950,724) = 687800 / 2
LCM(950,724) = 343900
