So the greatest common factor 282,954 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 288,741
3 | 288, 741 |
96, 247 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 96 x 247 = 71136
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/71136
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 282/288,954/741 is 6/71136
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 288,741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(288,741) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(288,741) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(288,741) = ( 288 × 741 ) / 3
LCM(288,741) = 213408 / 3
LCM(288,741) = 71136
