Lets's calculate LCM of 436,948
2 | 436, 948 |
2 | 218, 474 |
109, 237 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 109 x 237 = 103332
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/103332
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 259/436,852/948 is 1/103332
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 436,948 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(436,948) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(436,948) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(436,948) = ( 436 × 948 ) / 4
LCM(436,948) = 413328 / 4
LCM(436,948) = 103332
