Lets's calculate LCM of 245,188
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 46060
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/46060
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 608/245,490/188 is 2/46060
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 245,188 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(245,188) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(245,188) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(245,188) = ( 245 × 188 ) / 1
LCM(245,188) = 46060 / 1
LCM(245,188) = 46060
