Lets's calculate LCM of 483,3542
7 | 483, 3542 |
23 | 69, 506 |
3, 22 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 23 x 3 x 22 = 10626
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/10626
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 98/483,4438/3542 is 14/10626
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 483,3542 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(483,3542) = 161
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(483,3542) x common factors =161 x 1 = 161
LCM(483,3542) = ( 483 × 3542 ) / 161
LCM(483,3542) = 1710786 / 161
LCM(483,3542) = 10626
