We found the factors 218,3992 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 218,3992 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 884,430
2 | 884, 430 |
442, 215 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 442 x 215 = 190060
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/190060
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 218/884,3992/430 is 2/190060
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 884,430 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(884,430) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(884,430) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(884,430) = ( 884 × 430 ) / 2
LCM(884,430) = 380120 / 2
LCM(884,430) = 190060
