So the greatest common factor 518,208 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 996,632
2 | 996, 632 |
2 | 498, 316 |
249, 158 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 249 x 158 = 157368
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/157368
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 518/996,208/632 is 2/157368
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 996,632 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(996,632) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(996,632) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(996,632) = ( 996 × 632 ) / 4
LCM(996,632) = 629472 / 4
LCM(996,632) = 157368
