So the greatest common factor 506,7952 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 342,703
19 | 342, 703 |
18, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 19 x 18 x 37 = 12654
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/12654
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 506/342,7952/703 is 2/12654
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 342,703 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(342,703) = 19
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(342,703) x common factors =19 x 1 = 19
LCM(342,703) = ( 342 × 703 ) / 19
LCM(342,703) = 240426 / 19
LCM(342,703) = 12654
