Lets's calculate LCM of 304,1488
2 | 304, 1488 |
2 | 152, 744 |
2 | 76, 372 |
2 | 38, 186 |
19, 93 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 19 x 93 = 28272
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/28272
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 985/304,6274/1488 is 1/28272
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 304,1488 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(304,1488) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(304,1488) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(304,1488) = ( 304 × 1488 ) / 16
LCM(304,1488) = 452352 / 16
LCM(304,1488) = 28272
