Lets's calculate LCM of 982,918
2 | 982, 918 |
491, 459 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 491 x 459 = 450738
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/450738
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 308/982,272/918 is 4/450738
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 982,918 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(982,918) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(982,918) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(982,918) = ( 982 × 918 ) / 2
LCM(982,918) = 901476 / 2
LCM(982,918) = 450738
