We found the factors 958,672 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 958,672 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 238,488
2 | 238, 488 |
119, 244 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 119 x 244 = 58072
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/58072
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 958/238,672/488 is 2/58072
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 238,488 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(238,488) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(238,488) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(238,488) = ( 238 × 488 ) / 2
LCM(238,488) = 116144 / 2
LCM(238,488) = 58072
