So the greatest common factor 548,402 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 992,676
2 | 992, 676 |
2 | 496, 338 |
248, 169 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 248 x 169 = 167648
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/167648
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 548/992,402/676 is 2/167648
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 992,676 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(992,676) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(992,676) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(992,676) = ( 992 × 676 ) / 4
LCM(992,676) = 670592 / 4
LCM(992,676) = 167648
