So the greatest common factor 718,468 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 201,705
3 | 201, 705 |
67, 235 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 67 x 235 = 47235
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/47235
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 718/201,468/705 is 2/47235
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 201,705 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(201,705) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(201,705) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(201,705) = ( 201 × 705 ) / 3
LCM(201,705) = 141705 / 3
LCM(201,705) = 47235
