So the greatest common factor 384,645 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 258,436
2 | 258, 436 |
129, 218 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 129 x 218 = 56244
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/56244
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 384/258,645/436 is 3/56244
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 258,436 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(258,436) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(258,436) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(258,436) = ( 258 × 436 ) / 2
LCM(258,436) = 112488 / 2
LCM(258,436) = 56244
