So the greatest common factor 924,726 is 66.
Lets's calculate LCM of 342,548
2 | 342, 548 |
171, 274 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 171 x 274 = 93708
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 66/93708
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 924/342,726/548 is 66/93708
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 342,548 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(342,548) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(342,548) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(342,548) = ( 342 × 548 ) / 2
LCM(342,548) = 187416 / 2
LCM(342,548) = 93708
