Lets's calculate LCM of 982,4966
2 | 982, 4966 |
491, 2483 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 491 x 2483 = 2438306
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2438306
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3230/982,4938/4966 is 2/2438306
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 982,4966 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(982,4966) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(982,4966) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(982,4966) = ( 982 × 4966 ) / 2
LCM(982,4966) = 4876612 / 2
LCM(982,4966) = 2438306
