Lets's calculate LCM of 298,2874
2 | 298, 2874 |
149, 1437 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 149 x 1437 = 428226
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/428226
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2418/298,2173/2874 is 1/428226
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 298,2874 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(298,2874) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(298,2874) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(298,2874) = ( 298 × 2874 ) / 2
LCM(298,2874) = 856452 / 2
LCM(298,2874) = 428226
