Lets's calculate LCM of 990,444
2 | 990, 444 |
3 | 495, 222 |
165, 74 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 165 x 74 = 73260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/73260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 820/990,636/444 is 4/73260
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 990,444 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(990,444) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(990,444) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(990,444) = ( 990 × 444 ) / 6
LCM(990,444) = 439560 / 6
LCM(990,444) = 73260
