Lets's calculate LCM of 790,562
2 | 790, 562 |
395, 281 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 395 x 281 = 221990
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/221990
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 406/790,596/562 is 2/221990
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 790,562 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(790,562) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(790,562) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(790,562) = ( 790 × 562 ) / 2
LCM(790,562) = 443980 / 2
LCM(790,562) = 221990
