Lets's calculate LCM of 671,366
61 | 671, 366 |
11, 6 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 61 x 11 x 6 = 4026
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4026
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 854/671,278/366 is 2/4026
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 671,366 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(671,366) = 61
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(671,366) x common factors =61 x 1 = 61
LCM(671,366) = ( 671 × 366 ) / 61
LCM(671,366) = 245586 / 61
LCM(671,366) = 4026
