So the greatest common factor 288,868 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 44,2579
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 113476
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/113476
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 288/44,868/2579 is 4/113476
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 44,2579 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(44,2579) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(44,2579) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(44,2579) = ( 44 × 2579 ) / 1
LCM(44,2579) = 113476 / 1
LCM(44,2579) = 113476
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
