So the greatest common factor 184,2976 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 824,488
2 | 824, 488 |
2 | 412, 244 |
2 | 206, 122 |
103, 61 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 103 x 61 = 50264
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/50264
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 184/824,2976/488 is 8/50264
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 824,488 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(824,488) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(824,488) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(824,488) = ( 824 × 488 ) / 8
LCM(824,488) = 402112 / 8
LCM(824,488) = 50264
