Lets's calculate LCM of 684,319
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 218196
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/218196
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 295/684,8440/319 is 5/218196
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 684,319 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(684,319) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(684,319) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(684,319) = ( 684 × 319 ) / 1
LCM(684,319) = 218196 / 1
LCM(684,319) = 218196
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
