So the greatest common factor 505,4646 is 101.
Lets's calculate LCM of 290,846
2 | 290, 846 |
145, 423 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 145 x 423 = 122670
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 101/122670
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 505/290,4646/846 is 101/122670
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 290,846 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(290,846) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(290,846) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(290,846) = ( 290 × 846 ) / 2
LCM(290,846) = 245340 / 2
LCM(290,846) = 122670
