Lets's calculate LCM of 508,236
2 | 508, 236 |
2 | 254, 118 |
127, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 127 x 59 = 29972
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29972
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 779/508,116/236 is 1/29972
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 508,236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(508,236) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(508,236) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(508,236) = ( 508 × 236 ) / 4
LCM(508,236) = 119888 / 4
LCM(508,236) = 29972
