So the greatest common factor 870,4324 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 304,748
2 | 304, 748 |
2 | 152, 374 |
76, 187 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 76 x 187 = 56848
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/56848
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 870/304,4324/748 is 2/56848
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 304,748 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(304,748) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(304,748) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(304,748) = ( 304 × 748 ) / 4
LCM(304,748) = 227392 / 4
LCM(304,748) = 56848
