So the greatest common factor 177,8709 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 716,946
2 | 716, 946 |
358, 473 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 358 x 473 = 338668
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/338668
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 177/716,8709/946 is 3/338668
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 716,946 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(716,946) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(716,946) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(716,946) = ( 716 × 946 ) / 2
LCM(716,946) = 677336 / 2
LCM(716,946) = 338668
