Lets's calculate LCM of 496,372
2 | 496, 372 |
2 | 248, 186 |
31 | 124, 93 |
4, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 31 x 4 x 3 = 1488
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1488
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 804/496,301/372 is 1/1488
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 496,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(496,372) = 124
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(496,372) x common factors =124 x 1 = 124
LCM(496,372) = ( 496 × 372 ) / 124
LCM(496,372) = 184512 / 124
LCM(496,372) = 1488
