Lets's calculate LCM of 124,2978
2 | 124, 2978 |
62, 1489 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 62 x 1489 = 184636
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/184636
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 430/124,2721/2978 is 1/184636
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 124,2978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(124,2978) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(124,2978) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(124,2978) = ( 124 × 2978 ) / 2
LCM(124,2978) = 369272 / 2
LCM(124,2978) = 184636
