Lets's calculate LCM of 818,304
2 | 818, 304 |
409, 152 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 409 x 152 = 124336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/124336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 637/818,948/304 is 1/124336
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 818,304 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(818,304) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(818,304) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(818,304) = ( 818 × 304 ) / 2
LCM(818,304) = 248672 / 2
LCM(818,304) = 124336
