So the greatest common factor 231,824 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 976,318
2 | 976, 318 |
488, 159 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 488 x 159 = 155184
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/155184
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 231/976,824/318 is 1/155184
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 976,318 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(976,318) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(976,318) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(976,318) = ( 976 × 318 ) / 2
LCM(976,318) = 310368 / 2
LCM(976,318) = 155184
