So the greatest common factor 802,984 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 44,722
2 | 44, 722 |
22, 361 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 22 x 361 = 15884
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/15884
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 802/44,984/722 is 2/15884
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 44,722 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(44,722) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(44,722) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(44,722) = ( 44 × 722 ) / 2
LCM(44,722) = 31768 / 2
LCM(44,722) = 15884
