Lets's calculate LCM of 992,4532
2 | 992, 4532 |
2 | 496, 2266 |
248, 1133 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 248 x 1133 = 1123936
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1123936
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3482/992,1301/4532 is 1/1123936
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 992,4532 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(992,4532) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(992,4532) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(992,4532) = ( 992 × 4532 ) / 4
LCM(992,4532) = 4495744 / 4
LCM(992,4532) = 1123936
