Lets's calculate LCM of 249,996
3 | 249, 996 |
83 | 83, 332 |
1, 4 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 83 x 1 x 4 = 996
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/996
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 395/249,6876/996 is 1/996
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 249,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(249,996) = 249
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(249,996) x common factors =249 x 1 = 249
LCM(249,996) = ( 249 × 996 ) / 249
LCM(249,996) = 248004 / 249
LCM(249,996) = 996
