Lets's calculate LCM of 908,496
2 | 908, 496 |
2 | 454, 248 |
227, 124 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 227 x 124 = 112592
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/112592
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 280/908,143/496 is 1/112592
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 908,496 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(908,496) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(908,496) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(908,496) = ( 908 × 496 ) / 4
LCM(908,496) = 450368 / 4
LCM(908,496) = 112592
