So the greatest common factor 506,764 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 958,284
2 | 958, 284 |
479, 142 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 479 x 142 = 136036
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/136036
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 506/958,764/284 is 2/136036
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 958,284 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(958,284) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(958,284) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(958,284) = ( 958 × 284 ) / 2
LCM(958,284) = 272072 / 2
LCM(958,284) = 136036
