Lets's calculate LCM of 382,998
2 | 382, 998 |
191, 499 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 191 x 499 = 190618
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 189/190618
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5292/382,2079/998 is 189/190618
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 382,998 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(382,998) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(382,998) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(382,998) = ( 382 × 998 ) / 2
LCM(382,998) = 381236 / 2
LCM(382,998) = 190618
