Lets's calculate LCM of 298,596
2 | 298, 596 |
149 | 149, 298 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 149 x 1 x 2 = 596
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/596
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4666/298,1357/596 is 1/596
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 298,596 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(298,596) = 298
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(298,596) x common factors =298 x 1 = 298
LCM(298,596) = ( 298 × 596 ) / 298
LCM(298,596) = 177608 / 298
LCM(298,596) = 596
