Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 251,908 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 251,908 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 488,962
2 | 488, 962 |
244, 481 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 244 x 481 = 234728
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/234728
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 251/488,908/962 is 1/234728
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 488,962 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(488,962) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(488,962) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(488,962) = ( 488 × 962 ) / 2
LCM(488,962) = 469456 / 2
LCM(488,962) = 234728
