Lets's calculate LCM of 992,7984
2 | 992, 7984 |
2 | 496, 3992 |
2 | 248, 1996 |
2 | 124, 998 |
62, 499 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 62 x 499 = 495008
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/495008
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4844/992,5062/7984 is 2/495008
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 992,7984 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(992,7984) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(992,7984) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(992,7984) = ( 992 × 7984 ) / 16
LCM(992,7984) = 7920128 / 16
LCM(992,7984) = 495008
