So the greatest common factor 186,558 is 186.
Lets's calculate LCM of 976,502
2 | 976, 502 |
488, 251 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 488 x 251 = 244976
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 186/244976
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 186/976,558/502 is 186/244976
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 976,502 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(976,502) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(976,502) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(976,502) = ( 976 × 502 ) / 2
LCM(976,502) = 489952 / 2
LCM(976,502) = 244976
