So the greatest common factor 190,228 is 38.
Lets's calculate LCM of 430,978
2 | 430, 978 |
215, 489 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 215 x 489 = 210270
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 38/210270
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 190/430,228/978 is 38/210270
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 430,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(430,978) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(430,978) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(430,978) = ( 430 × 978 ) / 2
LCM(430,978) = 420540 / 2
LCM(430,978) = 210270
