:1,2,4,8,61,122,244,488
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 146,488 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 146,488 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 244,926
2 | 244, 926 |
122, 463 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 122 x 463 = 112972
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/112972
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 146/244,488/926 is 2/112972
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 244,926 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(244,926) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(244,926) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(244,926) = ( 244 × 926 ) / 2
LCM(244,926) = 225944 / 2
LCM(244,926) = 112972
