Lets's calculate LCM of 99,4449
3 | 99, 4449 |
33, 1483 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 33 x 1483 = 146817
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/146817
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 600/99,538/4449 is 2/146817
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 99,4449 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,4449) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,4449) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(99,4449) = ( 99 × 4449 ) / 3
LCM(99,4449) = 440451 / 3
LCM(99,4449) = 146817
