So the greatest common factor 900,708 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 344,916
2 | 344, 916 |
2 | 172, 458 |
86, 229 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 86 x 229 = 78776
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/78776
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 900/344,708/916 is 12/78776
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 344,916 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(344,916) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(344,916) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(344,916) = ( 344 × 916 ) / 4
LCM(344,916) = 315104 / 4
LCM(344,916) = 78776
