Lets's calculate LCM of 488,382
2 | 488, 382 |
244, 191 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 244 x 191 = 93208
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/93208
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 871/488,378/382 is 1/93208
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 488,382 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(488,382) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(488,382) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(488,382) = ( 488 × 382 ) / 2
LCM(488,382) = 186416 / 2
LCM(488,382) = 93208
