So the greatest common factor 468,355 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 802,996
2 | 802, 996 |
401, 498 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 401 x 498 = 399396
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/399396
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 468/802,355/996 is 1/399396
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 802,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(802,996) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(802,996) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(802,996) = ( 802 × 996 ) / 2
LCM(802,996) = 798792 / 2
LCM(802,996) = 399396
