Lets's calculate LCM of 184,502
2 | 184, 502 |
92, 251 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 92 x 251 = 46184
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/46184
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 743/184,940/502 is 1/46184
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 184,502 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(184,502) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(184,502) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(184,502) = ( 184 × 502 ) / 2
LCM(184,502) = 92368 / 2
LCM(184,502) = 46184
