Lets's calculate LCM of 486,564
2 | 486, 564 |
3 | 243, 282 |
81, 94 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 81 x 94 = 45684
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/45684
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 978/486,6249/564 is 3/45684
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 486,564 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(486,564) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(486,564) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(486,564) = ( 486 × 564 ) / 6
LCM(486,564) = 274104 / 6
LCM(486,564) = 45684
