Lets's calculate LCM of 987,8225
7 | 987, 8225 |
47 | 141, 1175 |
3, 25 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 47 x 3 x 25 = 24675
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/24675
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4498/987,3958/8225 is 2/24675
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 987,8225 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(987,8225) = 329
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(987,8225) x common factors =329 x 1 = 329
LCM(987,8225) = ( 987 × 8225 ) / 329
LCM(987,8225) = 8118075 / 329
LCM(987,8225) = 24675
