Lets's calculate LCM of 688,618
2 | 688, 618 |
344, 309 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 344 x 309 = 212592
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/212592
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 458/688,988/618 is 2/212592
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 688,618 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(688,618) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(688,618) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(688,618) = ( 688 × 618 ) / 2
LCM(688,618) = 425184 / 2
LCM(688,618) = 212592
