Lets's calculate LCM of 298,7496
2 | 298, 7496 |
149, 3748 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 149 x 3748 = 1116904
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1116904
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5056/298,3533/7496 is 1/1116904
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 298,7496 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(298,7496) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(298,7496) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(298,7496) = ( 298 × 7496 ) / 2
LCM(298,7496) = 2233808 / 2
LCM(298,7496) = 1116904
