Lets's calculate LCM of 346,830
2 | 346, 830 |
173, 415 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 173 x 415 = 143590
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/143590
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 596/346,2502/830 is 2/143590
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 346,830 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(346,830) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(346,830) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(346,830) = ( 346 × 830 ) / 2
LCM(346,830) = 287180 / 2
LCM(346,830) = 143590
