Lets's calculate LCM of 642,718
2 | 642, 718 |
321, 359 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 321 x 359 = 230478
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/230478
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 633/642,3438/718 is 3/230478
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 642,718 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(642,718) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(642,718) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(642,718) = ( 642 × 718 ) / 2
LCM(642,718) = 460956 / 2
LCM(642,718) = 230478
