Lets's calculate LCM of 242,482
2 | 242, 482 |
121, 241 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 121 x 241 = 58322
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/58322
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1880/242,4678/482 is 2/58322
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 242,482 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(242,482) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(242,482) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(242,482) = ( 242 × 482 ) / 2
LCM(242,482) = 116644 / 2
LCM(242,482) = 58322
