So the greatest common factor 282,1580 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 717,846
3 | 717, 846 |
239, 282 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 239 x 282 = 202194
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/202194
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 282/717,1580/846 is 2/202194
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 717,846 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(717,846) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(717,846) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(717,846) = ( 717 × 846 ) / 3
LCM(717,846) = 606582 / 3
LCM(717,846) = 202194
