So the greatest common factor 454,378 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 632,498
2 | 632, 498 |
316, 249 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 316 x 249 = 157368
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/157368
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 454/632,378/498 is 2/157368
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 632,498 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(632,498) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(632,498) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(632,498) = ( 632 × 498 ) / 2
LCM(632,498) = 314736 / 2
LCM(632,498) = 157368
