Lets's calculate LCM of 492,996
2 | 492, 996 |
2 | 246, 498 |
3 | 123, 249 |
41, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 41 x 83 = 40836
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/40836
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 347/492,477/996 is 1/40836
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 492,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(492,996) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(492,996) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(492,996) = ( 492 × 996 ) / 12
LCM(492,996) = 490032 / 12
LCM(492,996) = 40836
