Lets's calculate LCM of 538,984
2 | 538, 984 |
269, 492 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 269 x 492 = 264696
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/264696
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1118/538,1089/984 is 1/264696
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 538,984 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(538,984) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(538,984) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(538,984) = ( 538 × 984 ) / 2
LCM(538,984) = 529392 / 2
LCM(538,984) = 264696
