So the greatest common factor 178,296 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 528,926
2 | 528, 926 |
264, 463 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 264 x 463 = 244464
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/244464
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 178/528,296/926 is 2/244464
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 528,926 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(528,926) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(528,926) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(528,926) = ( 528 × 926 ) / 2
LCM(528,926) = 488928 / 2
LCM(528,926) = 244464
