Lets's calculate LCM of 988,4617
19 | 988, 4617 |
52, 243 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 19 x 52 x 243 = 240084
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/240084
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8432/988,3821/4617 is 1/240084
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 988,4617 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(988,4617) = 19
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(988,4617) x common factors =19 x 1 = 19
LCM(988,4617) = ( 988 × 4617 ) / 19
LCM(988,4617) = 4561596 / 19
LCM(988,4617) = 240084
