So the greatest common factor 646,255 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 424,294
2 | 424, 294 |
212, 147 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 212 x 147 = 62328
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/62328
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 646/424,255/294 is 17/62328
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 424,294 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(424,294) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(424,294) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(424,294) = ( 424 × 294 ) / 2
LCM(424,294) = 124656 / 2
LCM(424,294) = 62328
