Lets's calculate LCM of 986,374
2 | 986, 374 |
17 | 493, 187 |
29, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 29 x 11 = 10846
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 25/10846
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 475/986,525/374 is 25/10846
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 986,374 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(986,374) = 34
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(986,374) x common factors =34 x 1 = 34
LCM(986,374) = ( 986 × 374 ) / 34
LCM(986,374) = 368764 / 34
LCM(986,374) = 10846
