So the greatest common factor 716,918 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 483,486
3 | 483, 486 |
161, 162 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 161 x 162 = 78246
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/78246
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 716/483,918/486 is 2/78246
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 483,486 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(483,486) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(483,486) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(483,486) = ( 483 × 486 ) / 3
LCM(483,486) = 234738 / 3
LCM(483,486) = 78246
