So the greatest common factor 3036,4968 is 276.
Lets's calculate LCM of 688,250
2 | 688, 250 |
344, 125 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 344 x 125 = 86000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 276/86000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3036/688,4968/250 is 276/86000
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 688,250 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(688,250) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(688,250) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(688,250) = ( 688 × 250 ) / 2
LCM(688,250) = 172000 / 2
LCM(688,250) = 86000
