Lets's calculate LCM of 524,916
2 | 524, 916 |
2 | 262, 458 |
131, 229 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 131 x 229 = 119996
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/119996
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 846/524,403/916 is 1/119996
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 524,916 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(524,916) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(524,916) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(524,916) = ( 524 × 916 ) / 4
LCM(524,916) = 479984 / 4
LCM(524,916) = 119996
