So the greatest common factor 487,518 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 508,186
2 | 508, 186 |
254, 93 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 254 x 93 = 47244
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/47244
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 487/508,518/186 is 1/47244
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 508,186 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(508,186) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(508,186) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(508,186) = ( 508 × 186 ) / 2
LCM(508,186) = 94488 / 2
LCM(508,186) = 47244
