So the greatest common factor 46,878 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 880,196
2 | 880, 196 |
2 | 440, 98 |
220, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 220 x 49 = 43120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/43120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 46/880,878/196 is 2/43120
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 880,196 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(880,196) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(880,196) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(880,196) = ( 880 × 196 ) / 4
LCM(880,196) = 172480 / 4
LCM(880,196) = 43120
