Lets's calculate LCM of 994,9877
7 | 994, 9877 |
142, 1411 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 142 x 1411 = 1402534
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/1402534
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5408/994,4912/9877 is 16/1402534
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 994,9877 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(994,9877) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(994,9877) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(994,9877) = ( 994 × 9877 ) / 7
LCM(994,9877) = 9817738 / 7
LCM(994,9877) = 1402534
