So the greatest common factor 798,438 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 898,856
2 | 898, 856 |
449, 428 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 449 x 428 = 384344
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/384344
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 798/898,438/856 is 6/384344
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 898,856 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(898,856) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(898,856) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(898,856) = ( 898 × 856 ) / 2
LCM(898,856) = 768688 / 2
LCM(898,856) = 384344
