Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 492,302 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 492,302 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 288,202
2 | 288, 202 |
144, 101 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 144 x 101 = 29088
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/29088
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 492/288,302/202 is 2/29088
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 288,202 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(288,202) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(288,202) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(288,202) = ( 288 × 202 ) / 2
LCM(288,202) = 58176 / 2
LCM(288,202) = 29088
