Lets's calculate LCM of 954,711
3 | 954, 711 |
3 | 318, 237 |
106, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 106 x 79 = 75366
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/75366
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 842/954,560/711 is 2/75366
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 954,711 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(954,711) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(954,711) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(954,711) = ( 954 × 711 ) / 9
LCM(954,711) = 678294 / 9
LCM(954,711) = 75366
