Lets's calculate LCM of 982,2478
2 | 982, 2478 |
491, 1239 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 491 x 1239 = 1216698
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/1216698
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6968/982,4693/2478 is 13/1216698
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 982,2478 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(982,2478) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(982,2478) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(982,2478) = ( 982 × 2478 ) / 2
LCM(982,2478) = 2433396 / 2
LCM(982,2478) = 1216698
