Lets's calculate LCM of 492,874
2 | 492, 874 |
246, 437 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 246 x 437 = 215004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/215004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 316/492,2858/874 is 2/215004
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 492,874 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(492,874) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(492,874) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(492,874) = ( 492 × 874 ) / 2
LCM(492,874) = 430008 / 2
LCM(492,874) = 215004
