Lets's calculate LCM of 959,350
7 | 959, 350 |
137, 50 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 137 x 50 = 47950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 163/47950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 815/959,978/350 is 163/47950
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 959,350 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(959,350) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(959,350) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(959,350) = ( 959 × 350 ) / 7
LCM(959,350) = 335650 / 7
LCM(959,350) = 47950
