Lets's calculate LCM of 926,321
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 297246
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/297246
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 974/926,5724/321 is 2/297246
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 926,321 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(926,321) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(926,321) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(926,321) = ( 926 × 321 ) / 1
LCM(926,321) = 297246 / 1
LCM(926,321) = 297246
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
