Lets's calculate LCM of 585,955
5 | 585, 955 |
117, 191 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 117 x 191 = 111735
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/111735
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6718/585,2046/955 is 2/111735
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 585,955 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(585,955) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(585,955) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(585,955) = ( 585 × 955 ) / 5
LCM(585,955) = 558675 / 5
LCM(585,955) = 111735
