2 | 478, 6038 |
239, 3019 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 239 x 3019 = 1443082
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1443082
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1018/478,1524/6038 is 2/1443082
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 478,6038 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(478,6038) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(478,6038) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(478,6038) = ( 478 × 6038 ) / 2
LCM(478,6038) = 2886164 / 2
LCM(478,6038) = 1443082
