Lets's calculate LCM of 382,848
2 | 382, 848 |
191, 424 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 191 x 424 = 161968
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/161968
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2499/382,2992/848 is 17/161968
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 382,848 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(382,848) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(382,848) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(382,848) = ( 382 × 848 ) / 2
LCM(382,848) = 323936 / 2
LCM(382,848) = 161968
