We found the factors 102,588 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 102,588 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,484
2 | 18, 484 |
9, 242 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 9 x 242 = 4356
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/4356
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 102/18,588/484 is 6/4356
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 18,484 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,484) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(18,484) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(18,484) = ( 18 × 484 ) / 2
LCM(18,484) = 8712 / 2
LCM(18,484) = 4356
