So the greatest common factor 581,182 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 278,188
2 | 278, 188 |
139, 94 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 139 x 94 = 26132
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/26132
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 581/278,182/188 is 7/26132
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 278,188 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(278,188) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(278,188) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(278,188) = ( 278 × 188 ) / 2
LCM(278,188) = 52264 / 2
LCM(278,188) = 26132
