Lets's calculate LCM of 989,946
43 | 989, 946 |
23, 22 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 43 x 23 x 22 = 21758
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21758
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 585/989,196/946 is 1/21758
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 989,946 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(989,946) = 43
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(989,946) x common factors =43 x 1 = 43
LCM(989,946) = ( 989 × 946 ) / 43
LCM(989,946) = 935594 / 43
LCM(989,946) = 21758
