So the greatest common factor 711,666 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 262,178
2 | 262, 178 |
131, 89 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 131 x 89 = 23318
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/23318
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 711/262,666/178 is 9/23318
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 262,178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(262,178) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(262,178) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(262,178) = ( 262 × 178 ) / 2
LCM(262,178) = 46636 / 2
LCM(262,178) = 23318
