Lets's calculate LCM of 948,488
2 | 948, 488 |
2 | 474, 244 |
237, 122 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 237 x 122 = 115656
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/115656
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 876/948,250/488 is 2/115656
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 948,488 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(948,488) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(948,488) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(948,488) = ( 948 × 488 ) / 4
LCM(948,488) = 462624 / 4
LCM(948,488) = 115656
