Lets's calculate LCM of 246,8868
2 | 246, 8868 |
3 | 123, 4434 |
41, 1478 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 41 x 1478 = 363588
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/363588
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 29/246,5880/8868 is 1/363588
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 246,8868 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(246,8868) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(246,8868) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(246,8868) = ( 246 × 8868 ) / 6
LCM(246,8868) = 2181528 / 6
LCM(246,8868) = 363588
