So the greatest common factor 486,848 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 284,210
2 | 284, 210 |
142, 105 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 142 x 105 = 29820
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/29820
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 486/284,848/210 is 2/29820
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 284,210 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(284,210) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(284,210) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(284,210) = ( 284 × 210 ) / 2
LCM(284,210) = 59640 / 2
LCM(284,210) = 29820
