So the greatest common factor 4996,1768 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 246,560
2 | 246, 560 |
123, 280 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 123 x 280 = 68880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/68880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4996/246,1768/560 is 4/68880
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 246,560 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(246,560) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(246,560) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(246,560) = ( 246 × 560 ) / 2
LCM(246,560) = 137760 / 2
LCM(246,560) = 68880
