Lets's calculate LCM of 758,223
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 169034
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/169034
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3042/758,5836/223 is 2/169034
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 758,223 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(758,223) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(758,223) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(758,223) = ( 758 × 223 ) / 1
LCM(758,223) = 169034 / 1
LCM(758,223) = 169034
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
