Lets's calculate LCM of 996,918
2 | 996, 918 |
3 | 498, 459 |
166, 153 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 166 x 153 = 152388
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/152388
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4309/996,8442/918 is 1/152388
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 996,918 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(996,918) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(996,918) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(996,918) = ( 996 × 918 ) / 6
LCM(996,918) = 914328 / 6
LCM(996,918) = 152388
