2 | 994, 846 |
497, 423 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 497 x 423 = 420462
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/420462
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5806/994,4622/846 is 2/420462
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 994,846 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(994,846) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(994,846) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(994,846) = ( 994 × 846 ) / 2
LCM(994,846) = 840924 / 2
LCM(994,846) = 420462
