So the greatest common factor 444,237 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 286,526
2 | 286, 526 |
143, 263 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 143 x 263 = 75218
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/75218
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 444/286,237/526 is 3/75218
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 286,526 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(286,526) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(286,526) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(286,526) = ( 286 × 526 ) / 2
LCM(286,526) = 150436 / 2
LCM(286,526) = 75218
