We found the factors 634,974 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 634,974 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 640,255
5 | 640, 255 |
128, 51 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 128 x 51 = 32640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/32640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 634/640,974/255 is 2/32640
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 640,255 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(640,255) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(640,255) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(640,255) = ( 640 × 255 ) / 5
LCM(640,255) = 163200 / 5
LCM(640,255) = 32640
