Lets's calculate LCM of 702,1990
2 | 702, 1990 |
351, 995 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 351 x 995 = 698490
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/698490
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1176/702,4599/1990 is 21/698490
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 702,1990 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(702,1990) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(702,1990) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(702,1990) = ( 702 × 1990 ) / 2
LCM(702,1990) = 1396980 / 2
LCM(702,1990) = 698490
