Lets's calculate LCM of 534,308
2 | 534, 308 |
267, 154 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 267 x 154 = 82236
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/82236
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 968/534,223/308 is 1/82236
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 534,308 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(534,308) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(534,308) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(534,308) = ( 534 × 308 ) / 2
LCM(534,308) = 164472 / 2
LCM(534,308) = 82236
