Lets's calculate LCM of 596,196
2 | 596, 196 |
2 | 298, 98 |
149, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 149 x 49 = 29204
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/29204
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 309/596,372/196 is 3/29204
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 596,196 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(596,196) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(596,196) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(596,196) = ( 596 × 196 ) / 4
LCM(596,196) = 116816 / 4
LCM(596,196) = 29204
