Lets's calculate LCM of 988,992
| 2 | 988, 992 |
| 2 | 494, 496 |
| 247, 248 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 247 x 248 = 245024
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/245024
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7742/988,5786/992 is 2/245024
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 988,992 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(988,992) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(988,992) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(988,992) = ( 988 × 992 ) / 4
LCM(988,992) = 980096 / 4
LCM(988,992) = 245024
