Lets's calculate LCM of 502,922
2 | 502, 922 |
251, 461 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 251 x 461 = 231422
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/231422
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 464/502,496/922 is 16/231422
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 502,922 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(502,922) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(502,922) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(502,922) = ( 502 × 922 ) / 2
LCM(502,922) = 462844 / 2
LCM(502,922) = 231422
