So the greatest common factor 850,506 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 548,938
2 | 548, 938 |
274, 469 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 274 x 469 = 257012
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/257012
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 850/548,506/938 is 2/257012
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 548,938 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(548,938) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(548,938) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(548,938) = ( 548 × 938 ) / 2
LCM(548,938) = 514024 / 2
LCM(548,938) = 257012
