So the greatest common factor 876,238 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 986,496
2 | 986, 496 |
493, 248 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 493 x 248 = 244528
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/244528
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 876/986,238/496 is 2/244528
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 986,496 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(986,496) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(986,496) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(986,496) = ( 986 × 496 ) / 2
LCM(986,496) = 489056 / 2
LCM(986,496) = 244528
