Lets's calculate LCM of 134,351
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 47034
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/47034
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 846/134,5212/351 is 2/47034
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 134,351 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(134,351) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(134,351) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(134,351) = ( 134 × 351 ) / 1
LCM(134,351) = 47034 / 1
LCM(134,351) = 47034
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
