Lets's calculate LCM of 656,238
2 | 656, 238 |
328, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 328 x 119 = 78064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/78064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 306/656,7886/238 is 2/78064
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 656,238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(656,238) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(656,238) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(656,238) = ( 656 × 238 ) / 2
LCM(656,238) = 156128 / 2
LCM(656,238) = 78064
