Lets's calculate LCM of 40,298
2 | 40, 298 |
20, 149 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 20 x 149 = 5960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 318/5960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3498/40,4452/298 is 318/5960
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 40,298 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,298) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,298) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(40,298) = ( 40 × 298 ) / 2
LCM(40,298) = 11920 / 2
LCM(40,298) = 5960
