Lets's calculate LCM of 656,1126
2 | 656, 1126 |
328, 563 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 328 x 563 = 369328
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/369328
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1998/656,4063/1126 is 1/369328
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 656,1126 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(656,1126) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(656,1126) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(656,1126) = ( 656 × 1126 ) / 2
LCM(656,1126) = 738656 / 2
LCM(656,1126) = 369328
