Lets's calculate LCM of 668,493
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 329324
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/329324
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 390/668,532/493 is 2/329324
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 668,493 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(668,493) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(668,493) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(668,493) = ( 668 × 493 ) / 1
LCM(668,493) = 329324 / 1
LCM(668,493) = 329324
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
