Lets's calculate LCM of 814,555
37 | 814, 555 |
22, 15 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 37 x 22 x 15 = 12210
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/12210
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 744/814,294/555 is 6/12210
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 814,555 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(814,555) = 37
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(814,555) x common factors =37 x 1 = 37
LCM(814,555) = ( 814 × 555 ) / 37
LCM(814,555) = 451770 / 37
LCM(814,555) = 12210
