Lets's calculate LCM of 988,5622
2 | 988, 5622 |
494, 2811 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 494 x 2811 = 2777268
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2777268
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7316/988,8428/5622 is 4/2777268
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 988,5622 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(988,5622) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(988,5622) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(988,5622) = ( 988 × 5622 ) / 2
LCM(988,5622) = 5554536 / 2
LCM(988,5622) = 2777268
