Lets's calculate LCM of 856,546
2 | 856, 546 |
428, 273 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 428 x 273 = 233688
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/233688
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 818/856,344/546 is 2/233688
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 856,546 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(856,546) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(856,546) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(856,546) = ( 856 × 546 ) / 2
LCM(856,546) = 467376 / 2
LCM(856,546) = 233688
