Lets's calculate LCM of 838,286
2 | 838, 286 |
419, 143 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 419 x 143 = 119834
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/119834
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 356/838,495/286 is 1/119834
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 838,286 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(838,286) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(838,286) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(838,286) = ( 838 × 286 ) / 2
LCM(838,286) = 239668 / 2
LCM(838,286) = 119834
