Lets's calculate LCM of 976,492
2 | 976, 492 |
2 | 488, 246 |
244, 123 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 244 x 123 = 120048
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 68/120048
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5576/976,6868/492 is 68/120048
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 976,492 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(976,492) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(976,492) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(976,492) = ( 976 × 492 ) / 4
LCM(976,492) = 480192 / 4
LCM(976,492) = 120048
