So the greatest common factor 497,676 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,278
2 | 18, 278 |
9, 139 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 9 x 139 = 2502
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2502
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 497/18,676/278 is 1/2502
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 18,278 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,278) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(18,278) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(18,278) = ( 18 × 278 ) / 2
LCM(18,278) = 5004 / 2
LCM(18,278) = 2502
