So the greatest common factor 438,884 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 622,406
2 | 622, 406 |
311, 203 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 311 x 203 = 126266
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/126266
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 438/622,884/406 is 2/126266
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 622,406 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(622,406) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(622,406) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(622,406) = ( 622 × 406 ) / 2
LCM(622,406) = 252532 / 2
LCM(622,406) = 126266
