Lets's calculate LCM of 497,308
7 | 497, 308 |
71, 44 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 71 x 44 = 21868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 249/497,4120/308 is 1/21868
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 497,308 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(497,308) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(497,308) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(497,308) = ( 497 × 308 ) / 7
LCM(497,308) = 153076 / 7
LCM(497,308) = 21868
