Lets's calculate LCM of 502,686
2 | 502, 686 |
251, 343 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 251 x 343 = 172186
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/172186
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1482/502,8126/686 is 2/172186
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 502,686 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(502,686) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(502,686) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(502,686) = ( 502 × 686 ) / 2
LCM(502,686) = 344372 / 2
LCM(502,686) = 172186
