So the greatest common factor 584,162 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 688,262
2 | 688, 262 |
344, 131 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 344 x 131 = 90128
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/90128
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 584/688,162/262 is 2/90128
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 688,262 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(688,262) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(688,262) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(688,262) = ( 688 × 262 ) / 2
LCM(688,262) = 180256 / 2
LCM(688,262) = 90128
