Lets's calculate LCM of 576,298
2 | 576, 298 |
288, 149 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 288 x 149 = 85824
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/85824
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 920/576,5096/298 is 8/85824
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 576,298 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(576,298) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(576,298) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(576,298) = ( 576 × 298 ) / 2
LCM(576,298) = 171648 / 2
LCM(576,298) = 85824
