So the greatest common factor 856,371 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 606,232
2 | 606, 232 |
303, 116 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 303 x 116 = 70296
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/70296
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 856/606,371/232 is 1/70296
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 606,232 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(606,232) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(606,232) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(606,232) = ( 606 × 232 ) / 2
LCM(606,232) = 140592 / 2
LCM(606,232) = 70296
