Lets's calculate LCM of 674,591
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 398334
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/398334
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 714/674,940/591 is 2/398334
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 674,591 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(674,591) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(674,591) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(674,591) = ( 674 × 591 ) / 1
LCM(674,591) = 398334 / 1
LCM(674,591) = 398334
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
