Lets's calculate LCM of 174,387
3 | 174, 387 |
58, 129 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 58 x 129 = 22446
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/22446
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 757/174,742/387 is 1/22446
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 174,387 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(174,387) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(174,387) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(174,387) = ( 174 × 387 ) / 3
LCM(174,387) = 67338 / 3
LCM(174,387) = 22446
