Lets's calculate LCM of 342,918
2 | 342, 918 |
3 | 171, 459 |
3 | 57, 153 |
19, 51 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 19 x 51 = 17442
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17442
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7393/342,4644/918 is 1/17442
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 342,918 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(342,918) = 18
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(342,918) x common factors =18 x 1 = 18
LCM(342,918) = ( 342 × 918 ) / 18
LCM(342,918) = 313956 / 18
LCM(342,918) = 17442
