Lets's calculate LCM of 950,486
2 | 950, 486 |
475, 243 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 475 x 243 = 230850
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/230850
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 590/950,4132/486 is 2/230850
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 950,486 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(950,486) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(950,486) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(950,486) = ( 950 × 486 ) / 2
LCM(950,486) = 461700 / 2
LCM(950,486) = 230850
