So the greatest common factor 439,252 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 378,538
2 | 378, 538 |
189, 269 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 189 x 269 = 101682
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/101682
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 439/378,252/538 is 1/101682
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 378,538 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(378,538) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(378,538) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(378,538) = ( 378 × 538 ) / 2
LCM(378,538) = 203364 / 2
LCM(378,538) = 101682
