Lets's calculate LCM of 609,448
7 | 609, 448 |
87, 64 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 87 x 64 = 38976
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 43/38976
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 258/609,817/448 is 43/38976
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 609,448 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(609,448) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(609,448) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(609,448) = ( 609 × 448 ) / 7
LCM(609,448) = 272832 / 7
LCM(609,448) = 38976
