So the greatest common factor 2996,9250 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 584,426
2 | 584, 426 |
292, 213 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 292 x 213 = 124392
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/124392
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2996/584,9250/426 is 2/124392
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 584,426 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(584,426) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(584,426) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(584,426) = ( 584 × 426 ) / 2
LCM(584,426) = 248784 / 2
LCM(584,426) = 124392
