Lets's calculate LCM of 496,972
2 | 496, 972 |
2 | 248, 486 |
124, 243 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 124 x 243 = 120528
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/120528
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9689/496,6821/972 is 1/120528
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 496,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(496,972) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(496,972) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(496,972) = ( 496 × 972 ) / 4
LCM(496,972) = 482112 / 4
LCM(496,972) = 120528
