Lets's calculate LCM of 888,978
2 | 888, 978 |
3 | 444, 489 |
148, 163 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 148 x 163 = 144744
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/144744
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 467/888,705/978 is 1/144744
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 888,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(888,978) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(888,978) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(888,978) = ( 888 × 978 ) / 6
LCM(888,978) = 868464 / 6
LCM(888,978) = 144744
