So the greatest common factor 298,4162 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 123,684
3 | 123, 684 |
41, 228 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 41 x 228 = 28044
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/28044
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 298/123,4162/684 is 2/28044
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 123,684 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(123,684) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(123,684) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(123,684) = ( 123 × 684 ) / 3
LCM(123,684) = 84132 / 3
LCM(123,684) = 28044
