So the greatest common factor 266,995 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 934,498
2 | 934, 498 |
467, 249 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 467 x 249 = 232566
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/232566
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 266/934,995/498 is 1/232566
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 934,498 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(934,498) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(934,498) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(934,498) = ( 934 × 498 ) / 2
LCM(934,498) = 465132 / 2
LCM(934,498) = 232566
