So the greatest common factor 298,601 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 378,276
2 | 378, 276 |
3 | 189, 138 |
63, 46 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 63 x 46 = 17388
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17388
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 298/378,601/276 is 1/17388
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 378,276 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(378,276) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(378,276) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(378,276) = ( 378 × 276 ) / 6
LCM(378,276) = 104328 / 6
LCM(378,276) = 17388
