Lets's calculate LCM of 992,636
2 | 992, 636 |
2 | 496, 318 |
248, 159 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 248 x 159 = 157728
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/157728
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4018/992,2209/636 is 1/157728
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 992,636 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(992,636) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(992,636) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(992,636) = ( 992 × 636 ) / 4
LCM(992,636) = 630912 / 4
LCM(992,636) = 157728
