Lets's calculate LCM of 117,496
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 58032
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/58032
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 404/117,942/496 is 2/58032
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 117,496 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(117,496) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(117,496) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(117,496) = ( 117 × 496 ) / 1
LCM(117,496) = 58032 / 1
LCM(117,496) = 58032
