So the greatest common factor 478,624 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 948,993
3 | 948, 993 |
316, 331 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 316 x 331 = 313788
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/313788
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 478/948,624/993 is 2/313788
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 948,993 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(948,993) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(948,993) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(948,993) = ( 948 × 993 ) / 3
LCM(948,993) = 941364 / 3
LCM(948,993) = 313788
