Lets's calculate LCM of 667,377
| 29 | 667, 377 |
| 23, 13 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 29 x 23 x 13 = 8671
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 598/8671
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 598/667,6578/377 is 598/8671
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 667,377 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(667,377) = 29
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(667,377) x common factors =29 x 1 = 29
LCM(667,377) = ( 667 × 377 ) / 29
LCM(667,377) = 251459 / 29
LCM(667,377) = 8671
