Lets's calculate LCM of 494,308
2 | 494, 308 |
247, 154 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 247 x 154 = 76076
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/76076
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2352/494,1263/308 is 3/76076
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 494,308 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(494,308) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(494,308) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(494,308) = ( 494 × 308 ) / 2
LCM(494,308) = 152152 / 2
LCM(494,308) = 76076
