So the greatest common factor 334,222 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 992,486
2 | 992, 486 |
496, 243 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 496 x 243 = 241056
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/241056
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 334/992,222/486 is 2/241056
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 992,486 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(992,486) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(992,486) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(992,486) = ( 992 × 486 ) / 2
LCM(992,486) = 482112 / 2
LCM(992,486) = 241056
