Lets's calculate LCM of 99,477
3 | 99, 477 |
3 | 33, 159 |
11, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 11 x 53 = 5247
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5247
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 394/99,950/477 is 2/5247
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 99,477 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,477) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,477) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(99,477) = ( 99 × 477 ) / 9
LCM(99,477) = 47223 / 9
LCM(99,477) = 5247
