So the greatest common factor 637,312 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 246,684
2 | 246, 684 |
3 | 123, 342 |
41, 114 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 41 x 114 = 28044
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/28044
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 637/246,312/684 is 13/28044
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 246,684 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(246,684) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(246,684) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(246,684) = ( 246 × 684 ) / 6
LCM(246,684) = 168264 / 6
LCM(246,684) = 28044
