Lets's calculate LCM of 118,456
2 | 118, 456 |
59, 228 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 59 x 228 = 26904
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/26904
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 790/118,731/456 is 1/26904
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 118,456 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(118,456) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(118,456) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(118,456) = ( 118 × 456 ) / 2
LCM(118,456) = 53808 / 2
LCM(118,456) = 26904
