Lets's calculate LCM of 486,992
2 | 486, 992 |
243, 496 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 243 x 496 = 241056
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/241056
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 290/486,663/992 is 1/241056
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 486,992 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(486,992) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(486,992) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(486,992) = ( 486 × 992 ) / 2
LCM(486,992) = 482112 / 2
LCM(486,992) = 241056
