So the greatest common factor 684,315 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 902,986
2 | 902, 986 |
451, 493 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 451 x 493 = 444686
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/444686
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 684/902,315/986 is 9/444686
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 902,986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(902,986) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(902,986) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(902,986) = ( 902 × 986 ) / 2
LCM(902,986) = 889372 / 2
LCM(902,986) = 444686
