Lets's calculate LCM of 350,688
2 | 350, 688 |
175, 344 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 175 x 344 = 120400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/120400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6959/350,8480/688 is 1/120400
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 350,688 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(350,688) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(350,688) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(350,688) = ( 350 × 688 ) / 2
LCM(350,688) = 240800 / 2
LCM(350,688) = 120400
