Lets's calculate LCM of 489,396
3 | 489, 396 |
163, 132 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 163 x 132 = 64548
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/64548
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 952/489,242/396 is 2/64548
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 489,396 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(489,396) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(489,396) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(489,396) = ( 489 × 396 ) / 3
LCM(489,396) = 193644 / 3
LCM(489,396) = 64548
