So the greatest common factor 717,666 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 334,970
2 | 334, 970 |
167, 485 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 167 x 485 = 161990
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/161990
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 717/334,666/970 is 3/161990
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 334,970 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(334,970) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(334,970) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(334,970) = ( 334 × 970 ) / 2
LCM(334,970) = 323980 / 2
LCM(334,970) = 161990
