So the greatest common factor 204,609 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 98,3128
2 | 98, 3128 |
49, 1564 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 49 x 1564 = 153272
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/153272
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 204/98,609/3128 is 3/153272
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 98,3128 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(98,3128) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(98,3128) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(98,3128) = ( 98 × 3128 ) / 2
LCM(98,3128) = 306544 / 2
LCM(98,3128) = 153272
