Lets's calculate LCM of 616,908
2 | 616, 908 |
2 | 308, 454 |
154, 227 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 154 x 227 = 139832
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/139832
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 528/616,1742/908 is 2/139832
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 616,908 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(616,908) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(616,908) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(616,908) = ( 616 × 908 ) / 4
LCM(616,908) = 559328 / 4
LCM(616,908) = 139832
