So the greatest common factor 204,448 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 298,298
2 | 298, 298 |
149 | 149, 149 |
1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 149 x 1 x 1 = 298
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/298
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 204/298,448/298 is 4/298
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 298,298 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(298,298) = 298
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(298,298) x common factors =298 x 1 = 298
LCM(298,298) = ( 298 × 298 ) / 298
LCM(298,298) = 88804 / 298
LCM(298,298) = 298
