So the greatest common factor 984,342 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 355,750
5 | 355, 750 |
71, 150 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 71 x 150 = 53250
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/53250
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 984/355,342/750 is 6/53250
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 355,750 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(355,750) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(355,750) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(355,750) = ( 355 × 750 ) / 5
LCM(355,750) = 266250 / 5
LCM(355,750) = 53250
