So the greatest common factor 822,555 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 842,354
2 | 842, 354 |
421, 177 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 421 x 177 = 149034
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/149034
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 822/842,555/354 is 3/149034
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 842,354 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(842,354) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(842,354) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(842,354) = ( 842 × 354 ) / 2
LCM(842,354) = 298068 / 2
LCM(842,354) = 149034
