Lets's calculate LCM of 688,142
2 | 688, 142 |
344, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 344 x 71 = 48848
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/48848
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 896/688,541/142 is 1/48848
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 688,142 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(688,142) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(688,142) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(688,142) = ( 688 × 142 ) / 2
LCM(688,142) = 97696 / 2
LCM(688,142) = 48848
