Lets's calculate LCM of 598,378
2 | 598, 378 |
299, 189 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 299 x 189 = 113022
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 171/113022
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 855/598,342/378 is 171/113022
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 598,378 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(598,378) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(598,378) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(598,378) = ( 598 × 378 ) / 2
LCM(598,378) = 226044 / 2
LCM(598,378) = 113022
