Lets's calculate LCM of 208,994
2 | 208, 994 |
104, 497 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 104 x 497 = 103376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/103376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 253/208,4235/994 is 11/103376
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 208,994 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(208,994) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(208,994) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(208,994) = ( 208 × 994 ) / 2
LCM(208,994) = 206752 / 2
LCM(208,994) = 103376
