We found the factors 441,218 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 441,218 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 242,938
2 | 242, 938 |
121, 469 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 121 x 469 = 113498
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/113498
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 441/242,218/938 is 1/113498
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 242,938 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(242,938) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(242,938) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(242,938) = ( 242 × 938 ) / 2
LCM(242,938) = 226996 / 2
LCM(242,938) = 113498
