Lets's calculate LCM of 372,254
2 | 372, 254 |
186, 127 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 186 x 127 = 47244
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/47244
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 657/372,4314/254 is 3/47244
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 372,254 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(372,254) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(372,254) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(372,254) = ( 372 × 254 ) / 2
LCM(372,254) = 94488 / 2
LCM(372,254) = 47244
