So the greatest common factor 559,668 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 82,494
2 | 82, 494 |
41, 247 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 41 x 247 = 20254
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20254
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 559/82,668/494 is 1/20254
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 82,494 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,494) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,494) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(82,494) = ( 82 × 494 ) / 2
LCM(82,494) = 40508 / 2
LCM(82,494) = 20254
