Lets's calculate LCM of 245,8498
7 | 245, 8498 |
35, 1214 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 35 x 1214 = 297430
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/297430
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2985/245,1743/8498 is 3/297430
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 245,8498 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(245,8498) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(245,8498) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(245,8498) = ( 245 × 8498 ) / 7
LCM(245,8498) = 2082010 / 7
LCM(245,8498) = 297430
