So the greatest common factor 298,549 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 418,121
11 | 418, 121 |
38, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 38 x 11 = 4598
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4598
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 298/418,549/121 is 1/4598
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 418,121 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(418,121) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(418,121) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(418,121) = ( 418 × 121 ) / 11
LCM(418,121) = 50578 / 11
LCM(418,121) = 4598
