So the greatest common factor 362,220 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 966,548
2 | 966, 548 |
483, 274 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 483 x 274 = 264684
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/264684
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 362/966,220/548 is 2/264684
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 966,548 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(966,548) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(966,548) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(966,548) = ( 966 × 548 ) / 2
LCM(966,548) = 529368 / 2
LCM(966,548) = 264684
