Lets's calculate LCM of 994,497
7 | 994, 497 |
71 | 142, 71 |
2, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 71 x 2 x 1 = 994
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/994
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 322/994,886/497 is 2/994
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 994,497 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(994,497) = 497
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(994,497) x common factors =497 x 1 = 497
LCM(994,497) = ( 994 × 497 ) / 497
LCM(994,497) = 494018 / 497
LCM(994,497) = 994
