So the greatest common factor 708,876 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 573,255
3 | 573, 255 |
191, 85 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 191 x 85 = 48705
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/48705
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 708/573,876/255 is 12/48705
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 573,255 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(573,255) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(573,255) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(573,255) = ( 573 × 255 ) / 3
LCM(573,255) = 146115 / 3
LCM(573,255) = 48705
