So the greatest common factor 108,768 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 638,854
2 | 638, 854 |
319, 427 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 319 x 427 = 272426
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/272426
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 108/638,768/854 is 12/272426
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 638,854 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(638,854) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(638,854) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(638,854) = ( 638 × 854 ) / 2
LCM(638,854) = 544852 / 2
LCM(638,854) = 272426
