Lets's calculate LCM of 804,998
2 | 804, 998 |
402, 499 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 402 x 499 = 401196
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/401196
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 119/804,442/998 is 17/401196
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 804,998 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(804,998) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(804,998) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(804,998) = ( 804 × 998 ) / 2
LCM(804,998) = 802392 / 2
LCM(804,998) = 401196
